Congress Still Working on Immigration Reform

Even with all of the focus on health care and energy in the nation's capitol immigration reform is still on the minds of the leadership. Senate Democrats have now outlined plans to reform the nation's immigration laws. It would include a requirement for U.S. workers to verify their identity through fingerprints or eye scan. Senator Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., says a system to verify work documents is needed because Congress has not cracked down on unscrupulous employers and illegal immigrants with fake documents. But missing from Schumer's priorities is an expansion of a guest-worker program.
