According to Bush, the immigration reform bill is moving forward (slowly).
President George W. Bush hailed progress made with members of the US Senate toward an overhaul of America's immigration laws, and said there were broad areas of agreement on a compromise bill.
"There is a common desire to have a bill that enforces the border, a bill that has interior enforcement," he said.
US Senate leaders have said a vote on immigration reform legislation is likely by the end of May.
But what about this then?
Enormous differences remain however, with immigration legislation passed in the House of Representatives in December that would criminalize illegal residents and construct a fence along a vast section of the southern US border.
Is that still on-going, and if so, did we just conveniently forget about that?
