Reps Gutierrez (D-IL) and Flake (R-AZ) introduced the first bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform bill of the 110th Congress.

It's already controversial, as expected. Full text isn't yet posted but here's the synopsis. It includes the DREAM Act- see Title VI under "other"- for folks who got here at least 5 years ago at the age of 15 or younger and have graduated from high school.
