House to vote on immigration bills with paths to citizenship for "Dreamers" and farmworkers

The House is set to vote Thursday on two proposals that would legalize subsets of the estimated 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal permission, as Democrats gauge the chances of approving immigration legislation and sending it to President Biden's desk.

The bills are expected to pass in the Democratic-controlled House and would, if enacted, place millions of undocumented immigrants on different pathways to U.S. citizenship, including farmworkers and those who arrived in the country as children.  The votes come as the administration scrambles to confront the enormous logistical challenges of processing and housing the soaring number of unaccompanied migrant children arriving at the southern border.
