Immigration bill awaits vote this week
CNN.Com - Politics ^ | POSTED: 6:31 p.m. EDT, June 24, 2007 | AP via CNN.Com
Posted on 06/24/2007 9:12:30 PM PDT by F15Eagle
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators pushing a new immigration policy appealed Sunday to wavering supporters on the eve of a renewed debate on whether to grant residency to some 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S.
A fragile compromise failed in the Senate in early June, then resurrected after bipartisan negotiations with the White House.
The bill awaits a crucial test vote this week. With several senators distancing themselves from the proposal, the outcome is too close to call.
“We’ll see if between the two parties we have 60 votes” needed to keep the bill moving toward a final vote, said Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California.
The measure would tighten borders, require workplace verification and create a guest worker program. It also would lay out a way by which the estimated 12 million people illegally in the U.S. could gain legal status and work toward citizenship.
President Bush long has advocated an immigration overhaul. On Saturday, he urged lawmakers to “summon the courage” to support what could be the last major legislative achievement of his presidency.
“The status quo is unacceptable,” he said in his weekly radio address.
But he faces dissension from fellow Republicans who demand better border security and oppose any policy that suggests amnesty for undocumented immigrants.
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, last week said his support for the bill hinges on the outcome of a series of amendments agreed to as part of the compromise to revive the legislation.
Mississippi Sen. Trent Lott has faced critical ads back home over his support for the bill.
“I’m not committed to voting for the final product,” the Republican said. “The wheels may come off. But I am committed to trying.”

For Immediate Release
Office of the Press Secretary

Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to the Western Balkans
White House News
On June 26, 2001, by Executive Order 13219, I declared a national emergency with respect to the Western Balkans pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the actions of persons engaged in, or assisting, sponsoring, or supporting (i) extremist violence in the Republic of Macedonia and elsewhere in the Western Balkans region, or (ii) acts obstructing implementation of the Dayton Accords in Bosnia or United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of June 10, 1999, in Kosovo. I subsequently amended that order in Executive Order 13304 of May 28, 2003.
Because the actions of persons threatening the peace and international stabilization efforts in the Western Balkans continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, the national emergency declared on June 26, 2001, and the measures adopted on that date and thereafter to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond June 26, 2007. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency with respect to the Western Balkans.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.
GEORGE W. BUSH
THE WHITE HOUSE,
June 22, 2007.
