DENVER (CBS4) – Colorado would have it’s own version of a “green card” under legislation at the state capitol.
Some state lawmakers say if Congress won’t reform the immigration system, they will. Their bill would allow anyone who has paid state taxes for at least two years and hasn’t had a felony in three years to be eligible for legal status.
For Llani Duenes the bill would be life-changing.
“It will help me to stay in this country longer.”
