I've pasted the part of this CBS News interview that deals with immigration:

Interview of the Vice President by Mark Knoller, CBS Radio
West Wing Office

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
July 30, 2007
12:57 P.M. EDT

Q Last question. Who do you blame for the defeat of the immigration reform bill? Were the conservative talk show hosts responsible for that?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Oh, I don't know that you can blame any one particular individual or group. That's a tough issue; if it was easy, it would have been solved a long time ago. The President, I thought, handled it well. I thought many members of Congress on both sides of the aisle tried to address it -- it's a serious problem; it does need to be addressed, does need to be solved. Obviously there are a lot of people out around the country who have got strong feelings on various aspects of it, and they were all heard from.

We were unable to get anything done this time around, legislatively. That doesn't mean it's dead, by any means. Still a possibility that it will -- some aspects of it may be acted upon before we leave. But one way or the other, in the next few years, we're going to have to have immigration legislation.

Q On that note, Mr. Vice President, our time is up. Thank you very much for agreeing to this interview. I'm very grateful to you. In the Vice President's office in the West Wing, I'm Mark Knoller, CBS News.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: Thank you, Mark.

Q Thank you, sir.
