Senate Delays Vote on Immigration Reform

HeadlineApr 07, 2006

In other news from Capitol Hill, the Senate failed last night to agree on passing what had been described as the most far-reaching changes to the nation’s immigration laws in two decades. During the day on Thursday a bipartisan group of Senators announced they had reached a deal that would put millions of undocumented immigrants on a path to citizenship and to establish a guest worker program. But after a long night of debate, no vote was taken and it now appears a vote might be put off until after the Senate’s Easter break.
