Full text copy of the 844-page draft immigration reform legislation introduced in the United States Senate on April 16, 2013 by the bipartisan “Group of Eight:” –Republicans John McCain, Jeff Flake, Marco Rubio, and Lindsey Graham, and Democrats Charles Schumer, Dick Durbin, Robert Menendez, and Michael Bennet.

From the group’s press release on the bill:

“We’re offering a comprehensive and workable solution to our broken immigration system that piecemeal responses have not and cannot repair. The status quo threatens our security, damages our economy, disregards the rule of law, and neglects our humanitarian responsibilities. A problem of that magnitude that affects so many of our interests will never be easy to address, but never more necessary to address either. And its resolution cannot be achieved by means other than political compromise and consensus and the resolve to not make the perfect the enemy of the good.”
