Republicans Propose Immigration Crackdowns To Boost Revived Bill

Carolyn Hileman | June 23, 2007 

WASHINGTON (AP) _ New requirements to track down, deport and permanently bar people who overstay their visas would be added to a broad immigration bill under a GOP bid to attract more Republican support. The amendment, which also would prevent illegal immigrants from gaining lawful status until they pass a background check, is one of those the Senate will consider next week when it returns its attention to the immigration measure. The bill is likely to see a final vote by month’s end. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., an architect of a broader deal to legalize as many as 12 million unlawful immigrants, said Friday that the amendment “will help substantially’’ in persuading his Republican colleagues to support the compromise.
