Reid amends his pledge for fast action on immigration
 

Majority Leader Harry M. Reid backed off Tuesday from his pledge to fast-track an overhaul of the nation's immigration laws, after fellow Democrats voiced skepticism and a key Republican supporter abandoned the effort.

Meanwhile, Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said the Justice Department may sue Arizona over a new state law that authorizes police to question the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally. "I'm very concerned about the wedge it could draw between communities that law enforcement is supposed to serve and those of us in law enforcement," Holder said.

As Republican said the border has not been secure, but on the other hand from this article, i saw this "Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano told Graham and other lawmakers at Tuesday's hearing that the Southern border "is as secure as it has ever been." She noted that the federal government has met security demands voiced by lawmakers in 2006 and 2007, when Congress last considered an immigration overhaul.

For example, Napolitano said, the number of Border Patrol agents has doubled to 20,000 since 2002, including 4,000 in Arizona. The number of illegal border crossers in Arizona caught by the Border Patrol has dropped by half since 2000, although the agency now makes more arrests there than in any other state.

"One of the questions we need to talk about is whether securing the border is ever going to be reached in the sense of Congress, or whether that goal post is going to keep moving," she said. "


I am sure republican is playing political game ! and said Immigration need to wait until 2012 because border issue!!!!!
