From the early edition of the New York Times:
"The conference version incorporates House measures that block states from issuing standard driver's licenses to illegal immigrants and that override environmental regulations that have impeded construction of a border barrier near San Diego.
The conference version also includes House provisions making it harder for immigrants to win asylum based on persecution or human rights abuses abroad. But aides involved in the conference negotiations said Senator Sam Brownback, Republican of Kansas, had persuaded the conference to adopt alternative language advocated by the Southern Baptist Convention and other religious groups to somewhat loosen those provisions."
Thanks to Senator Brownback!!!!!
