Republican senators complained Wednesday that plans to hold just one hearing
on a yet-to-be-unveiled immigration overhaul are "unacceptable" -- as they
continued to press for more details on how much the legislation could
cost taxpayers.Fox News has learned the proposed bill could be unveiled
as early as Thursday. In anticipation of the release, Senate Judiciary Committee
Chairman Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., announced his committee will hold a hearing
on the legislation April 17.Though Leahy noted this hearing would be the
committee's fourth on immigration this year, Republican senators complained
it would only be the first -- and possibly last -- on
this specific bill."A single hearing scheduled so quickly to discuss legislative
language that is not yet even available is completely inadequate for senators
or the American people to get answers to the many questions a
bill of this magnitude will inevitably raise," Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, said
in a statement. "We could not possibly have a meaningful hearing with
a substantive discussion of what will surely be over 1,000 pages of
provisions we haven't even yet seen."Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., called
the hearing schedule "unacceptable.""We need a committee hearing on every
component of reform, including the extraordinary potential costs to taxpayers,
the impact on wages and job prospects for the unemployed, and the
administration's continued refusal to enforce the laws previously enacted
by Congr
ommitted to dealing with
the gang problem that is tormenting honest people in his hometown as
he is to blaming law-abiding gun owners for the acts of psychopathic
murderers."House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, repeated his view that the
Senate should act, saying, "It's one thing for two members to come
to some agreement. It doesn't substitute the will for the other 98
members."In a written statement, Obama said he'd prefer stronger language
than the compromise, but he said it represented progress."It recognizes
that there are good people on both sides of this issue, and
we don't have to agree on everything to know that we've got
to do something to stem the tide of gun violence," he said.Other
highlights of Obama's gun agenda -- including bans on assault weapons and
high-capacity ammunition magazines -- seem to have little chance of winning
approval in the Senate, let alone the House.Polls show more than 8
in 10 people back expanded background checks. Even so, the fight will
be difficult in both chambers, especially the House, where increasing numbers
of district lines are drawn to protect incumbents, said James Pasco, executive
director of the Fraternal Order of Police."They're not going to have a
constituency in every instance that is champing for that bill," said Pasco,
whose group has backed the drive for expanded background checks.The director
