Immigration Foes Gain Ground As Lawmakers Stall Negotiations
INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
While congressional committees held dueling hearings across the country on immigration reform, support in the Senate for its own version grew shakier.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., and Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ga., have refused to sign off on a procedure needed to allow House and Senate conferees to finish the reform bill.
The two want assurances that the final product will more nearly resemble the tougher House-passed version.
This follows a signal by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn., that he is willing to lean in that direction during the House-Senate conference.
The developments suggest momentum is with lawmakers who favor a bill that focuses on border security and enforcement and disdains any guest-worker or earned- legalization program. Full story.

Now we are starting to talk more responsibly. If we can't secure the border then everything else is a moot point. Demonstrait to me that you can actually do this basic task.
