: Greg Siskind's BlogBREAKING NEWS: CONRAD 30 AND RELIGIOUS WORKER EXTENSIONS PASSED BY SENATE
By Greg Siskind
This is great news especially since the House already passed extension bills for both those programs. The Senate is only extending the programs until March 30 6th just as E-Verify and the EB-5 program are extended in the House Continuing resolution. The House bills extended those programs for longer periods so they're still going to need to vote again, but given the previous approvals, this will hopefully not be seen as controversial and pass without much discussion. The votes could happen as early as this evening in the House.
[UPDATE: Thanks Young for the catch on the date in March when the extension expires]
