Rebellious Republicans Derail 9/11 Reform

http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041121/D86FU2J00.html

Sensenbrenner, R-Wis., wanted additional provisions dealing with illegal immigration. "Unfortunately, the Senate has refused to consider many of the provisions, tagging them as extraneous or controversial," he said.

A group of 9/11 families praised Sensenbrenner for holding out for his illegal immigration provisions.

"Even though the 108th Congress is at its very end, we urge it to let the bill die until the next Congress rather than further weaken the immigration and border security provisions," said the 9/11 Families for a Secure America in a statement.

We owe Sensenbrenner our thanks.

Notice that this reason is almost completely ignored by the MSM this morning, even FOX.
