House Backs Federal Driver License and Asylum Rules
The House on Feb 10 voted to pass HR 418 to federalize driver licenses, tighten asylum criteria, and empower waivers for border barriers and deportation actions. The 9/11 era reforms would require licenses with machine readable data and give states new enforcement duties. A separate vote tackled asylum provisions and border waivers amid debate over civil rights and immigration policy. The Senate later considered S 5 on class actions shifting suits to federal courts.
