The House Judiciary Committee approved legislation to provide legal status to as many as 8 million undocumented immigrants, which Democrats intend to include in their massive tax and spending plan.
The panel approved the measure late Monday night, 25-19, after hours of debate and failed amendments from Republican members of the committee.
