The New York Times reports the details of the massive immigration proposal released by a bi-partisan group of eight senators. Among other things, the bill would:

• Create a 13-year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants
• Require the Department of Homeland Security to tighten border security through increased enforcement and extended fencing, including $5.5 in spending
• The path to citizenship would not occur until DHS tightened security
• All employers would have to verify the legal status of new hires
• The federal government would have to create an electronic system to track foreigners as they leave the country
• Green cards would be awarded on a merit-based point system allowing immigrants with skills and education to move to the front of the line
• Triple the number of temporary visas available to technology and science workers
• Create a five year path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who were brought to the United States as children

The Washington Post notes that Sen. Marco Rubio is going all-in on his support for the bill – the first big gamble of his career.
