Report indicates that this bill will indeed be introduced in the Senate today but there will be no press conference by Senate Gang of 8 because of yesterday’s Boston accident. Unconfirmed sources indicates that the CIR includes the “point system” reform of legal immigration system which was the backbone of the Bush CIR bill that failed in 2007. The bill also appears to eliminate the current DV lottery program, replaced by certain immigrant benefits to a few African country nationals, including Ethiopia, Egypt, etc.
