Action 4 News has posted a PDF copy of the 644-page immigration reform bill introduced in Congress yesterday.

U.S. Congressman Solomon P. Ortiz (D-Corpus Christi) introduced House Resolution 4321 along with 91 co-sponsors.

The bill proposes allowing illegal immigrants to register with the government, pay a $500 fine for each adult, learn English, pass background checks and meet other requirements.

They then would be eligible for a six-year visa and when that is done a green card.

The bill faces criticism from Republican challengers and conservatives.

Congressional records show the bill has already been referred to several Congressional committees.
