Immigration Vote Delayed Until Monday

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has pushed back the immigration debate - again.

In an effort to give the bipartisan negotiators more time, Reid said tonight that he will hold off on the debate until late Monday. At that point, Reid will raise last year's Senate-approved bill - or the bipartisan deal, if one is reached. 

"I have spoken to people who are doing the negotiations on immigration," Reid said on the Senate floor. "They tell me they're 80 percent of the way there. Well, that's fine. The other 20 percent is hard."
