The Latino and Immigrant Fairness Act
July 26, 2000
On Thursday, July 27, the Senate is expected to take up
for debate Senate Bill, S. 2912, the Latino and Immigrant Fairness Act. While
it is not expected that a vote will take place until after Congress returns from
recess in September, the debate offers an excellent opportunity to highlight the
importance of the bill, which was introduced by Senators Kennedy, Reid, Durbin,
and Graham. The bill would restore
Section 245(i), update the registry date to January 1, 1986, and grant NACARA
parity status to citizens of Honduras, El Salvador, and Haiti.
