'DEAL STRUCK'...."an immigration overhaul that would grant quick legal status to millions of illegal immigrants already in the U.S. and fortify the border."

The key breakthrough came when negotiators struck a bargain on a so-called "point system" that would for the first time prioritize immigrants' education and skill level over family connections in deciding how to award green cards.
The draft bill "gives a path out of the shadows and toward legal status for those who are currently here" illegally, said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif.
