Hastert eyes immigration
By Stephen Dinan
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert said yesterday his chamber will work to produce an immigration bill this year, even as the White House signaled a new emphasis on immigration law enforcement as part of selling President Bush's proposal.

The Illinois Republican placed immigration near the top of the list of priorities when Congress returns from its August recess, just below the must-pass spending bills and just before Social Security. He said any immigration bill must mix enforcement, a program for new foreign workers and a solution to the illegal aliens now here."

I suppose it would be too much to expect bipartisan support and a real interest from both sides to work together to solve this important and complicated subject.
