The showdown between the senate and the white house has entered a new realm of 'NO GO'.today the senate effectively has blocked the Immigration bill by way of which president Bush sought to give relief to the thousands of illegal immigrants currently residing in the United States.they have effectively 'booted' the bill out,making it clear that any more action on this bill would be taken up only after the presidential elections are done with.with the current approval rating already low for the current incumbent president,this news may only harden positions between that of the donkey and the elephant.with the donkeys braying 'HEE NOOO' the elephant may just be pushed to go off on a rampage.joking apart,this news may come as a shock for the thousands of illegal immigrants who were hoping against hope for some relief.the sad part is that the illegal immigrants cannot really seek any remedial relief from any further punitive actions because they are 'illegal' immigrants and therefore do not have much recourse under the current immigration law.
what will be the next move for president Bush?normally every president would like to have achieved a major policy coup during his tenure but with immigration bill going down ,Bush is going to do his dammed best to make sure to end his tenure with the U.S-India nuclear bill in his kitty.
