House Democrats unveil immigration, border reform plan after crisis proves to be pivotal election issue
Fox News
A group of center-left House Democrats is unveiling their own plan for border security and immigration as the left increasingly begins to embrace the issue.
Among other measures, the plan would permanently authorize a program to allow international medical students studying in the U.S. to legally stay in the country after completing their degrees. It would also expand legal pathways for migrant farmworkers and establish a new non-immigrant work visa category for U.S. industries experiencing personnel shortages.

It also would include a legal pathway for people who came here illegally but have been working and paying taxes for at least five years, provided they pay a fine and pass a criminal background check. Follow on Twitter at @liz_elkind and send tips to elizabeth.elkind@fox.com
