Americans May Have to Prove Citizenship Under Plan
The GOP proposes that every American show birth certificates or naturalization papers to the Social Security Administration to validate status and issue new cards.

Thursday's high 100 and overnight low 71 mark a hot spell with partly cloudy skies through Sunday and little rain through Tuesday. Big Bend highs near 104, Lows mid 60s to mid 70s, mountain area mid 50s. In Congress, Rep. John Rhodes and others outlined a pro immigration plan as hearings begin next week chaired by Rep.

Republicans question the price of their own system but back a lighter approach. President may grant amnesty to pre 1970 aliens and grant a non deportable status to others without welfare benefits.
