The US Senate will also consider a bill co-authored by Senator Edward Kennedy and Senator John McCain, which proposes stronger border enforcement, a temporary workers program with a path to residency and citizenship, and legalization for people already in the US without papers. Another idea is to require anyone in the US wanting to regularize their immigration status to go home and wait in line there.
美国参议院还将考虑一项由参议员肯尼迪和麦肯恩联合提出的法案。这一法案建议加强边境执法，设立可以导向居留权和国籍的临时工作项目以及将美国境内的无证人员合法化。另一个主张是要求任何在美国境内想要获得正常移民资格的人返回祖国并在那里等候。
