WASHINGTON, June 6 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid issued the following statement on President Bush's speech on immigration reform today in New Mexico:
"President Bush has made an important step by engaging on immigration reform. Unfortunately, a photo-op in New Mexico won't make Republicans in Washington, D.C. support comprehensive reform. Just yesterday, Senate Republicans blocked the Senate's own bipartisan comprehensive reform plan from moving forward in Congress. After years of Bush Republican incompetence, our borders are unsecured and our immigration system is broken. The Senate took a major step toward fixing our immigration system. Now the president must convince his party to enact the comprehensive immigration reform our nation deserves."

Unlike the Clinton years when our borders were secure, and there were no illegal immigrants.

Why in the Hell doesn't Reid just resurrect his old 1993 immigration reform bill? This bill is even better than H.R. 4437.

The Senate needs to be reformed so that it votes the way the people demand. Border Security first.

It was pointed out.
Harry is referring to the unconstitutional tax provisions in the amnesty legislation. Spending originates in the House by writ of the Constitution. His attitude is that this being unconstitutional is a minor matter, therefore conference between the House and Senate should commence.
Republicans are now arguing over whether to attach the bulk of the legislation to another bill to save it, which would require another vote Harry doesn't want to schedule. Or, start all over.
The Senate Republicans aren't trying to kill it, they simply can't agree on how to keep it afloat..and get Harry onboard for another vote-yet.

Oh, so NOW you take the President's side. Every other day you're yelling, "Hate Bush, hate Bush!!", but not today. I see how disingenuous you really are.

The Senate took a major step toward fixing our immigration system.
Toward 'fixing' it? Exactly how does this Senate bill fix anything?
All it does is make the problem worse over the next 10-20 years.
