Frist Moves on Immigration
Posted by TOM BEVAN | E-Mail This | Permalink | Email Author
Majority Leader Bill Frist just announced he's going to bring the Secure Fence Act of 2006 to the floor of the Senate this week for a vote. Frist writes on his blog:
Americans deserve secure borders ... and Americans deserve to know where their Senators stand on border security. This week, when the Senate votes on the Secure Fence Act of 2006, Americans will know which of their representatives are committed to real action on border security and which aren't.
The swift moves on enforcement only legislation in the House and the Senate come as a bit of a surprise, given that the MSM churned out a round of stories not too long ago reporting that Republicans were going to put immigration legislation on the shelf until after the election.
