Sens. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) and John Hoeven (R-N.D.) announced the agreement
Thursday afternoon and predicted it could secure the votes of as many as 15
Republicans for final passage.

In an interview on Fox, Hoeven said the release of the legislation was being
delayed by Democratic demands that illegal immigrants be allowed to receive
certain government benefits while transitioning to legal status.
“Our focus on this bill is strengthening the border. But there are other
issues going on as well,” Hoeven said in ... 阅读全帖 |

Senate would complete work drafting a GOP border security amendment on

Senate Democrats on Thursday defeated a Republican proposal to give a permit
to the Keystone XL crude oil pipeline in a vote that will give Republicans
more ammunition to criticize President Barack Obama's energy policies on the
campaign trail.
Republicans argue the pipeline, which would ship oil from Canada and
northern U.S. states to Texas, would create jobs and improve energy security
at a time of surging gasoline prices.
