Congress is preparing for a massive overhaul of the country’s immigration policies.
A bipartisan group of U.S. Senators just released the first phase of a plan. The group is led by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida.
One of the leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives on this issue, though, is GOP Rep. Mario Diaz Balart, who represents a district stretching from Miami to Southwest Florida.
Diaz Balart has been an advocate for immigration reform since he was elected to Congress in 2003.
He spoke to WGCU about the strategy for moving the Senate immigration plan through the House.
