Today two Georgia senators did an about face on immigration legislation. Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson voted to kill a bill they helped write. Conservative critics argued that some of Chambliss and Isakson’s compromises amounted to amnesty. The two Republicans said opponents didn’t fully understand the bill. Now, they have backed away from the bill. The vote today probably killed any chance for immigration legislation until after next year's presidential election.
