Reid Postpones Immigration Cloture Vote Until Monday
Senators negotiating a broad immigration bill caught a break Tuesday evening when Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., agreed to postpone a cloture vote scheduled for today until Monday.
"The bipartisan negotiations are showing progress and this gives them a chance to continue," said a Democratic aide.
The bill being discussed includes a new point system for green card applicants, a path to citizenship for current undocumented workers and a guest worker program that would require the vast majority of future foreign workers to leave the country when their visas expire.
