Just over a month ago, the Senate passed a big, comprehensive immigration bill ? but Senate leader Democrat Harry Reid hasn?t sent that bill to the House of Representatives yet.
Some say he fears defeat.
Utah Congressman Jason Chaffetz sits on the House Committee on the issue.
?The Senate bill is dead on arrival when they send it over. They haven?t sent it over yet ? if they send it over,? he said.
Chaffetz says the bill, passed in June, won?t be passed by the House ? and that instead, they?ll tackle immigration piecemeal.
Chaffetz main worry with the bill is that it will provide a form of amnesty for illegal immigrants that are already here without securing the borders and without providing a workable plan for legal immigration.
?If you don?t figure out visas and close the border and do those things there is no way you can pass a form of amnesty,? said Chaffetz.
Senators note their bill would hire 20,000 new border police and spend billions to toughen border security.
