I am a supporter of President Bush's policies domestic and international. However, I struggle GREATLY with the topic of amnesty or any formal recognition of illegal aliens status as a fair response. Many immigrants have chosen to be legally complaint with United States law remaining years in refugee camps and are still waiting There is an interesting precedent in our U.S. history: My maternal grandfather escaped from Russia at the turn of the last century.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Opponents effectively killed President Bush's long-fought and emotion-laden Senate immigration bill Thursday when members voted against advancing the controversial legislation. The tally was 46 to 53, 14 votes shy of the 60 needed to end debate.
