A group of Republican and Democratic House members say that they have reached a tenative deal on immigration reform, Bloomberg reported Thursday.

The House’s proposal will differ “in a lot of areas” from the bill put forward by the so-called “Gang of 8” in the U.S. Senate, Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said. Members are expected to introduce the legislation next month.

But like the bill in the Senate, the House’s measure will include a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants already living in the country, according to Bloomberg.
