Bush Supports Senate’s Bipartisan Compromise, but Hurdles Remain
Friday, May 18, 20071
The Bush administration and a bipartisan group of senators reached agreement yesterday on a sprawling overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws that would bring an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants out of society’s shadows while stiffening border protections and cracking down on employers of undocumented workers.
The delicate compromise, 380 pages long and three months in the making, represents perhaps the last opportunity for President Bush to win a major legislative accomplishment for his second term, and it could become the most significant revision of the nation’s immigration system in 41 years. Bush hailed the agreement as “one that will help enforce our borders, but equally importantly, it will treat people with respect.”
