Senate Resists Ruining Good Bill on Immigration
The Senate faced election year pressure but passed a bipartisan measure to tighten borders and curb illegal immigration while retaining differences with a House bill. It adds 1,700 Border Patrol agents by 2000, expands detention capacity and penalties for document fraud, and requires a pilot in states with many immigrants to verify work eligibility. The measure aims for a workable border policy context.
