Anger Over Senate's Failure on Immigration

The nation's millions of illegal immigrants and their employers have long sought some of the major provisions in the proposal that failed in the Senate last week.

Does the Senate exist to serve those who break the nation's laws? The obnoxiousness of the lawbreakers -- the employers more than the immigrants -- is revolting, at least to me. If the Senate disappointed them, it did a good thing.
