WASHINGTON - A White House-backed bill revamping U.S. immigration laws stalled in the Senate Thursday, handing President Bush a major legislative setback.
The sharply divided Senate refused to limit debate on the fragile compromise hammered out by a bipartisan group of senators and the White House. As a result, the legislation will be set aside and the Senate is expected to move on to other matters.
The bill would have tightened borders, instituted a new system to prevent employers from hiring undocumented workers, and given many of the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants a pathway to legal status. Conceived by an improbable coalition, it exposed deep rifts within both parties.
