Wednesday, April 17, 2013 – Today a long awaited comprehensive immigration reform bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate. The Emerald Isle Immigration Center welcomes the approach taken to fix many of the broken aspects of the current immigration system and urges all of our friends and supporters to act in support of reform, as there will be a long road to travel before this bill gets passed and becomes law. We thank all the members of the U.S. Senate and their staff for getting the process started.
Over the next few weeks as the bill is reviewed, discussed and debated it is important for everyone to contact your Senators and support the bill to ensure that the key components remain intact.

The Senate Judiciary committee will be holding two hearings on the bill on Friday and Monday. The Friday hearing can be viewed here.
At this time it is very important to note that no new law has been passed and immigration reform has not happened yet. No one is currently eligible to apply for any benefits under this bill. Beware of scams that say that there is a new law.
