Delaying immigration reform

immigration reform bill fails
U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) speaks as Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC) (L), and Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) (R) listen during a news conference after a cloture vote on an immigration reform bill June 28, 2007 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The Senate fell 14 votes short of allowing limited debate on immigration bill that would have cleared the way to passage.
