In the United States of America, the
Gang of Eight is a common colloquial term for the
bi-partisan group of eight
United States Senators—four
Democrats and four
Republicans—who wrote the first draft of the
Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013.[1]
The group was also instrumental in bringing comprehensive
immigration reform back to the legislative branch in early 2013.[2]
In June 2013, the immigration bill passed the Senate with a strong
majority—68–32, with 14 Republicans joining all Democrats. The
United States House of Representatives under Speaker
John
Boehner did not act on the bill, however, and it expired at the end of the
113th Congress.[3]
This bill would have created reform that would have resolved some of the issues
that are currently [2019] being debated as a result of the government shutdown.[4]
