Immigration Reform:

Wbat we know so far

Kd'
introduced a bill on immigration reform. A /
a proposal for a law. It is important to keep in mind that this is the
beginning of the process and that there is no new law and nothing
new to apply for at this time! There is no new legalization law or program yet. There might not ever be one. Even if
this proposal is ultimately approved, the process of approval will take at least 1-2 months as it moves through the
legislative process if it is successful.

Here for now. Pay attention to the date of this flyer in the bottom right corner
and realize that the information here is subject to change until the law is passed (if we are so lucky).
