\u00a0<\/strong>But at the home front in the U.S <\/strong>business and labor now seem to be in agreement, a bipartisan group of Senators in the U.S has resolved all major issues in a pending deal to overhaul the immigration system and aims to unveil it after congress reconvenes in the second week of April.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Senator Charles Schumer a New York Democrat said that while there was no final deal yet, they hope and even expect there to be one soon after the measure is put into Legislative Language so all eight Senators in the group can review it.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the biggest business group, and the Afl-Cio, the largest labor federation, reached an elusive agreement on a guest-worker program on Friday, clearing the way for the writing of a full bill.<\/p>\n

The bill will include an earned pathway to U.S. Citizenship for an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants, bolstered border security and ways for business to meet the need for both high-skilled and low-skilled workers.<\/p>\n

The gang of eight had initially planned to have a bill by the end of March but now plans to unveil it in the week of April 8, when congress returns from a two-week recess.<\/p>\n
