Senators Reach Deal on Border Amendment

“A bipartisan group of senators are expected to announce they have reached an agreement to strengthen border security in the Senate’s immigration bill, a breakthrough that could pave the way for a significant number of GOP senators to support the comprehensive legislation,” NBC News reports.

First Read notes “the compromise talks have been aimed at winning over enough GOP votes to
pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill with an overwhelming
majority of senators — without angering Democrats who want to make sure
that the path to citizenship included for undocumented immigrants isn’t
affected.”
