US Immigration Reform: The Bill That Wouldn't Die

It looks like US immigration reform got canned but President Bush won't let it die. Was it Democratic Senate Leader Harry Reid's fault? It looks like he's getting the blame. Maybe it was so cobbled together with such an odd coalition that was doomed from the outset.
