Congressman Shadegg introduces SKIL in House
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've received information that Congressman John Shadegg of Arizona's 3rd District has introduced SKIL bill in the house and it has 10 Republican Co-Sponsors.
John Shadegg (R-AZ)
John Campbell (R-CA)
K. Michael Conaway (R-TX)
John T. Doolittle (R-CA)
Jeff Flake (R-AZ)
Peter Hoekstra (R-MI)
Michael McCaul (R-TX)
Mike Pence (R-IN)
John Shimkus (R-IL)
Todd Tiahrt (R-KS)
SKIL bill is the same bill that was originally introduced at the begining of this year by Senator John Cornyn of Texas. SKIL was also merged into the Senate version of CIR thru last minute Manager's amendment. And yes, SKIL does have 485 filing provision during retrogression.

We hope to see this bill pass the House. It may have to jump a few hoops though. In order to bypass the House Judiciary committee it has to be introduced on the house floor and House Republican Leadership can do that. Its a strong possibility given the 10 co-sponsors.
However, it seems that some legislators are realizing that the reform in legal immigration to reduce backlogs is neccesary and overdue and would have to precede CIR if CIR is going to be stalled.
