As Senate negotiators prepare to unveil their proposal to rewrite U.S. immigration laws, members of a House group are considering a path to citizenship of at least 15 years for many undocumented immigrants now in the U.S.
Under the House plan being discussed, undocumented immigrants would have a probationary period of two to five years and would have to wait in line behind those seeking to live in the U.S. legally, according to a congressional aide familiar with the details. The aide asked not to be identified because the plan has not been finalized.
