priscilla alvarez is following the latest for us. priscilla, we don't have the text just yet. but we've seen glimpses based on what's been negotiated on a bipartisan base so far. what are some of the key points we're going to be looking for in this bill? >> reporter: well, omar, this has been months in the making. senate negotiators, democrats and republicans, have been working for weeks to put this deal together on what , of course, has been a vexing issue for congress for decades. i've been talking to sources this afternoon who have described a deal that would mark a dramatic overhaul of immigration law. it would mark the most drastic change we have made to immigration law in decades. what to look for here is really the changes it makes to asylum. what has been described to me is really a deal that would really restrict asylum at the u.s./mexico border in hopes these negotiators think of trying to cut down on border crossings. because over the last few years, the way the migration flow has evolved is that there have been more and more people seeking asylum at the u.s./mexico
