‘Z’ Visa Suffers Defeat in Senate
Filed Under Immigration News
US President George Bush, along with millions of illegal immigrants in the US, was left disappointed yesterday after the new comprehensive immigration reform bill (aka the ‘Z’ Visa) was defeated in the Senate.
A combination of Democrats and Republicans destroyed the bill, which would have created a path to legal citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants in the US.
Democratic leader in the senate Harry Reid blamed inaction of President Bush’s part for the defeat of the bill.
Reid said, “We are finished with this for the time being. This is the president’s bill. Where are the president’s people helping us with these votes?”
