On Capitol Hill, the Senate has voted to move ahead with a debate to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, but the proposal is already facing widespread criticism. Last week, a bipartisan group of senators outlined a proposal that quickly received the support of President Bush. The Senate leadership had hoped the bill would be passed this week, but it has been met by unexpected opposition from the both the left and right. The actual vote on the immigration proposal has now been pushed off until June. The Senate proposal calls for increased border security, a temporary guestworker program and a provision that would give legal status to some of the undocumented immigrants living in the United States. The proposal would also create a point system for future immigration to de-emphasize family ties in favor of educational attainment and work skills.
