Senate Approves Immigration Bill

Yesterday, the Senate passed a bill that deals with immigration over the Mexican-American border. Many do not believe that the bill will get passed by the House of Representatives because their politics greatly differ from the Senate's. They believe that Congress should stay away from labor law reforms until illegal immigration is reduced greatly. Both Democrats and Republicans believe the only way a House-Senate agreement will be reached is with large involvement from the President. Some believe the bill will have to be completely rewritten in a House-Senate committee before it passes. I personally believe that this issue cannot be dealt with in such a broad fashion. I think there are individual needs that should be considered with each case.
