Immigration Reform: Summary of Second Day of Senate Immigration Bill Markup

The second day of the Senate Judiciary Committee markup on S. 744 focused on Title IV of the bill, the nonimmigrant visa provisions, including H-1B, L and student visas. Fifteen amendments were passed, out of the 25 offered. All but one of the amendments that passed did so with broad bipartisan support on voice votes. AILA has compiled a chart listing all the amendments offered during the second day of markup and the result of the vote in committee.
