(AP) - A gunman who was having finan- cial problems held four fire- fighters for hours in a suburban Atlanta home, demanding his cable and power be turned back on, before being shot dead when SWAT members stormed the house, authorities said Wednes- day. The hostages had cuts and bruises from explosions officers set off to distract the gunman before moving in, but they will be fine, a fire official said. Minutes before the police announcement on the resolu- tion, a huge blast could be heard a quarter-mile away from the home, shuddering through the Suwanee neighborhood, setting off car alarms. Earlier Wednesday, five fire- fighters responded to what seemed like a routine medical call and were eventually taken hostage by an unidentified sus- pect inside the house, police said. The gunman released one of the firefighters to move a fire truck but held the other four. LAST CHANCE TO USE YOUR EDUCATIONAL DISCOUNT! New electronic verification of legal status to be in put in place WASHINGTON (AP) - Bipartisan immigration legisla- tion being written in the Senate would require surveillance of 100 percent of the U.S. border with Mexico and apprehension* of 90 percent of people trying to cross the border. in certain high-risk areas, a person famil- iar with the proposals said Wednesday. People living here illegally could begin to get green cards in 10 years, but only if a new southern border security plan is in place, employers have adopted mandatory electronic verification of their workers' legal status and a new elec- tronic exit system is operating at airports and seaports. The person provided the- information on condition of anonymity because the delib- erations were private. The contours of the tough new border security plans emerged as senators moved closer to unveiling sweeping legislation within days that would put some 11 million immigrants living here ille- gally on a path to citizenship and allow tens of thousands of high- and low-skilled workers into the country on new visa programs, in addition to secur- ing the border. Lawmakers and aides said all the major elements were complete, or close to. A final deal was near on a new visa for agriculture workers. There were small details to be dealt with on visas for high-tech workers, but Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., said it wasn't enough to hold up the bill. "We are closer now than we have been in 25 years for serious immigration reform," Durbin told reporters Wednes- day after he and other Demo- crats in the Senate negotiating group briefed members of the Congressional Hispanic Cau- cus. "This president is behind it, and there is a strong, grow- ing bipartisan effort in the Sen- ate to support it. We hope that the House will do the same." Meanwhile tens of thou- sands of pro-immigration activists massed outside the Capitol and in cities around the country to push Congress to act. They waved American flags and carried signs read- ing, "Reform immigration for America now!" The border security piece of the legislation is critical to getting support from Republi- cans, but some Democrats have opposed making a path to citi- zenship contingent on border security. Sen. Chuck Schum- er, D-N.Y., said that the new requirements wouldn't impede citizenship. "A lot of people here would not want to put dollars into the border, but as a price to get citi- zenship, as long as it's not an impediment to citizenship but rather works alongside citizen- ship, it's something we can all live with," Schumer said, after talking to the Hispanic House members. "What we've said all along is triggers have to be objective and attainable in a way it doesn't interfere or delay with people becoming citizens, and that's in the bill." According to the person familiar with the proposals, the new border security require- ments call for 100 percent surveillance and a 90 percent apprehension rate of border crossers or would-be crossers in sectors where the majority of unauthorized entries take place. The goals would be achieved by giving the Department of Homeland Security six months from the bill's enactment to create the new border security plan deploying the personnel, infrastructure and technology needed to achieve the 90 per- cent effectiveness rate. Also within six months, the depart- ment would have to create a plan to identify where new fencing is needed on the bor- der. Once those plans are certi- fied, people living here illegally could begin to apply for a pro- visional status allowing them to work here legally. If the 90 percent rate of apprehensions isn't achieved in high-risk border sectors within five years, a commission made of border state officials would make recommendations on how to achieve it. After 10 years, people granted "registered provisional immi- grant status" could apply for green cards granting them per- manentresidency - and the abil- ity to seek citizenship - if the new security and fencing plans have been completed, the man- datory employment verification system is in place and used by all employers, and the new elec- tronic exit system is operating at airports and seaports, collecting machine-readable visa or pass- port information from airplanes and ships. The electronic exit system is meant to keep better track of people in the country on temporary visas. Some 40 per- cent of people in the country illegally arrived with visas but stayed after they expired. The employment verification piece would be an expansion of an existing system called E-Verify that's currently voluntary for most employers, though it's mandatory in some states. The bill would allocate $5.5 billion for the various propos- als, including $1.5 billion for fencing, $2 billion for other border measures and $2 billion to help the commission of bor- der state officials do its work, should that become necessary, the person said, stressing more or less money could be allocat- ed if needed. The border security details were first reported Wednesday by the Wall Street Journal.
