Immigration Bill Opponents Delay Debate

UPDATED.

Work on the immigration bill stalled in the Senate this afternoon after Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C., demanded that a slate of pending amendments be read out loud.

Majority Leader Harry Reid filed a cloture motion on the overall immigration measure that is expected to be voted on Thursday.
