June 28, 2007 - One of the votes president Bush hoped he could count on to support the immigration reform bill belonged to Minnesota Senator Norm Coleman. But Coleman was one of the 53 votes against the legislation today. Still, Coleman wasn't as dead-set against the bill as other Senators. Though he voted with the majority, he did not strike a victorious tone in a conference call today with reporters. If Coleman supported the immigration bill's path to citizenship, why would he vote against it? He said he was disappointed that several amendments didn't make it into the bill. One would have included funding for federally-mandated security upgrades to drivers licenses and ID cards. Another would have allowed all local police officers to question people about their immigration status.
