President Obama pushed for swift passage, while critics warned the plan would fuel illegal immigration and urged opposition. The House faces clashes over citizenship provisions as it debates related immigration measures.

Investigators Say Disability Judges Too Lax in Approvals
House investigators report Social Security approves disability benefits at high rates for claims rejected by field offices or state agencies. Follow-up reviews to confirm continued disability are often skipped. Disability applications rose 25 percent since 2007, straining the program toward insolvency. Officials cite aging baby boomers as a major driver, with 3.2 million people applying for disability or SSI benefits last year.
