Senators Report Progress on a Complicated Bill on Immigration
Tagged: borderPosted on: May 16th, 2007“With the new Congress poised to take its first vote on immigration, senators from both parties stepped up the pace of negotiations on Tuesday in hopes of cutting a deal on a comprehensive bill that would increase enforcement at the border and offer legal status to millions of undocumented workers.
Even as Democrats made concessions to Republicans adamantly opposed to any kind of amnesty, they risked alienating longtime supporters of the Democratic Party, including labor unions and Hispanic groups that wanted legislation tilted more toward the rights of immigrants.”
