House, Senate negotiators finalize immigration measure

Abilene Reporter News: Political: "Certain immigration barriers will rise under legislation set for final House approval Thursday.

But with last-minute tinkering, congressional negotiators also softened some of the strongest provisions. The result, called the REAL ID bill, is now on the fast track to the White House.

In broad terms, the bill will establish first-ever national standards deterring illegal immigrants from obtaining drivers licenses. It will make it harder for asylum seekers to win admission to the United States and ease construction of a 3.5-mile fence separating San Diego and Mexico."
