A bipartisan group of U.S. House members will introduce a comprehensive immigration plan next month that covers 95 percent of the issues they have been negotiating, said Texas Republican John Carter.
The lawmakers agreed that Republicans and Democrats will offer separate proposals to establish a visa program for low-skilled foreign workers, said Carter, one of the group’s eight members. He said they will meet later today to try to resolve another issue: how 11 million undocumented immigrants would be covered by President Barack Obama’s health-care law.
