Senator Plans To Tackle Immigration In Lame Duck Session

Just before Congress called it quits to return home for midterm campaigning, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) introduced an immigration bill that will likely see action in the lame duck session after November. 

“A lot of senators are retiring and might be willing to look at the issue,” Menendez said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “We need something to jump off from if we’re going to go into it in the early part of the next Congress.” 

The proposed legislation is said to have some Republican provisions included in an effort to draw in bipartisan support.
