WASHINGTON — Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist late Wednesday offered a new plan to overhaul U.S. immigration laws that would require as many as 3 million illegal immigrants to leave the country in order to apply for legal status and eventual citizenship.
Aides to the Tennessee Republican said a majority of GOP senators would support the plan, ending a stalemate that threatened to prevent action on the issue.
