美国参议院可能星期四就几项移民改革议案表决。国会正在考虑不同的议案，以最好地保护幼年时被带到美国的非法移民、加大保护边界安全的力度以及改变亲属连带关系的移民条件。
星期三晚间，两党的16名参议员组成的一个小组宣布就一项立法议案达成一致，为那些幼年被带到美国的年轻非法移民提供获得美国国籍的途径。这些人也被称为追梦者。
这项法案将在今后10年期间为改善边界安全提供250亿美元，同时对连续犯罪或严重犯罪、威胁美国国家安全以及去年6月底之后非法进入美国的人加大执法力度。
川普总统支持更广泛的移民改革，对亲属连带移民增加限制，优先让有高级技能的人移民，取消当前的抽签绿卡项目。
川普总统在白宫星期三发布的声明中敦促国会议员进行负责任、合乎常理的移民改革，为美国人民带来更大的利益。
The U.S. Senate could vote on several immigration reform proposals Thursday, as lawmakers weigh competing plans that address issues such as protecting young undocumented immigrants, boosting border security and changing the rules for family-based immigration.
Late Wednesday, a bipartisan group of 16 senators announced an agreement on legislation that would offer a path to citizenship for the undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children, sometimes referred to as Dreamers.
The bill would also authorize $25 billion in border security funding over the course of 10 years, while also focusing immigration enforcement efforts on repeat or serious criminals, those who represent a threat to national security and those who arrive in the country illegally after the end of June.
President Donald Trump backs more sweeping reforms that would add further limits to family-based immigration and prioritize newcomers who have advanced work skills over the current lottery system.
In a White House statement Wednesday, Trump urged lawmakers to enact “responsible and common sense immigration reform that delivers for the American people.”
