Specter Will Oppose Homeland Bill With Hastert Add-Ons.

The article reports that Chairman of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Arlen Specter is strongly opposing any kind of changes to the FY07 Homeland Security appropriations by the House Republican leaders. He expressed his intentions to remove his signature from the conference report of the Homeland Security bill if more immigration-related legislation are added to it. The delay of the U.S. administration to mandate new identification cards for travelers into the U.S. is also an issue.
