BREAKING: Senate blocks immigration reform bill

Just a few moments ago, the U.S. Senate blocked S.1639, the comprehensive immigration reform bill, for the time being. In fact, the AP reports that Congress is "unlikely to revisit it this fall or next year, when the presidential election will increasingly dominate American politics." The vote was 46 to 53 in favor of invoking cloture.

It seems immigration reform will take a backseat for quite a while. Post your comments/feelings on the situation.

It's sad that immigration will take a backseat during the presidential campaigning -- I hope the candidates bring it back to the forefront, in addressing their political platforms.

Close the border, and enforce the laws that are already on the books. It's really that simple.
