IMMIGRATION

President Bush uses his weekend radio chat Saturday to try to revive the immigration bill clinging to life in Congress.  [Indy Channel]. Give it up, man! The back-room designed, severely flawed bill is dead. The time to arm twist Senators for it was this past week, but you flew the coop. Start pushing a bill which fixes the leak first (border security), then bails the water (deals with those already here).
