MEXICO CITY, Nov. 9 -- Secretary of State Colin L. Powell gave Mexican officials a sober report Tuesday on the prospects of winning congressional approval to grant legal status to millions of undocumented aliens in the United States. He said President Bush (news - web sites) would place a "high priority" on pushing his stalled plan through Congress, but he said he did not want to "overpromise" success.
Bush unveiled the plan 10 months ago, but it received a lukewarm reception on Capitol Hill and the administration made little effort to promote it during the election year. In last week's election, Bush received about 44 percent of the Hispanic vote, up from 35 percent in 2000, exit polls indicated. Mexican President Vincente Fox has made it clear that he hopes to seize the moment to achieve an agreement on migration.

Let's see, Bush's party, which pretty much votes in lockstep with him, won't let him fulfill the promise he made to Hispanic voters to help win the election? And he can't do anything about it? Riiiiiiiiiight.
