The Senate Judiciary Committee will begin marking up the so-called Gang of Eight comprehensive immigration reform legislation on May 9, the panel’s chairman announced Thursday.
Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) said any amendments to the legislation, formally known as the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013, will be made public on the committee’s website before the markups begin.
The chairman predicted that dozens of amendments could be filed, so several subsequent markup dates have been scheduled: May 14, May 16, May 20, and any time after that may be needed to finish the legislation.

Leahy asked senators on the panel to file all amendments to the bill by Tuesday, May 7, by 5 p.m.
The committee, which has jurisdiction over immigration legislation in the Senate, has held six hearings this year on immigration reform – the latest on Tuesday, when Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano testified on the Gang of Eight bill.
