WASHINGTON _ Congressional Republicans are eying a possible "special visa" for immigrants who were brought into the country illegally as children that would not require them to return to their home countries but would allow them to apply for citizenship, according to Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif.
The special visa, termed a "bridge," is the latest development in ongoing talks between House Republicans aimed at breaking a deadlock over how to proceed on immigration reform.
Other visas, such as the diversity visa lottery program and the family-based migration program, could be limited as part of any deal, Denham said.
