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。
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.
