      By Mr. REID (for himself, Mr. Durbin, Mr. Leahy, Mrs. Feinstein, 
        Mr. Brown of Ohio, Mr. Kerry, Mr. Bennet, Mrs. Gillibrand, Mrs. 
        Boxer, and Mr. Lautenberg):
  S. 6. A bill to reform America's broken immigration system; to the 
Committee on the Judiciary.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the 
bill be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the text of the bill was ordered to be 
printed in the Record, as follows:

                                  S. 6

       Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 
     the United States of America in Congress assembled,

     SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

       This Act may be cited as the ``Reform America's Broken 
     Immigration System Act''.

     SEC. 2. SENSE OF THE SENATE.

       It is the sense of the Senate that Congress should--
       (1) fulfill and strengthen our Nation's commitments 
     regarding border security;
       (2) pass legislation to support our national and economic 
     security, such as the DREAM Act, which would allow students 
     who came to America before turning 16 to earn citizenship by 
     attending college or joining the armed forces, and AgJobs, 
     which would help to ensure a stable and legal agricultural 
     workforce and protect the sustainability of the American 
     agricultural industry;
       (3) implement a rational legal immigration system to ensure 
     that the best and brightest minds of the world can come to 
     the United States and create jobs for Americans while, at the 
     same time, safeguarding the rights and wages of American 
     workers;
       (4) require all United States workers to obtain secure, 
     tamper-proof identification to prevent employers from hiring 
     people here illegally, and toughen penalties on employers who 
     break labor and immigration laws;
       (5) hold people accountable who are currently here 
     illegally by requiring them to either earn legal status 
     through a series of penalties, sanctions, and requirements, 
     or face immediate deportation; and
       (6) adopt practical and fair immigration reforms to help 
     ensure that families are able to be together.
