And on a vote of 55-40 that crossed party lines, the Senate rejected an appeal from Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-Ga.) to require the border to be secured before other immigration law changes could take place.

...Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) praised the president for a "commendable job" in his Monday speech
"I don't underestimate the difficulty in the House and Senate coming to an agreement on this issue," said House Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio). "But I do think it is possible." (Boehner is a moderate Republican. His statement is meant to tell Jim Sensenbrenner to Go To Hell.)
