liarly gridlocked over the budget. January's tax deal has stiffened
GOP resolve against further tax increases. Obama's recently unveiled plan
for lower inflation increases for Social Security recipients -- an idea
embraced by Bowles and Simpson -- has landed with a thud among
most Democrats.Obama and the top GOP negotiator, House Speaker John Boehner
of Ohio, stopped talking after failed talks in 2011 and late last
year. It's commonly assumed that the need this summer for must-pass legislation
to increase the government's borrowing cap will draw the weary combatants
back into negotiations.The revised Simpson-Bowles plan proposes about $600
billion in increased taxes over the coming 10 years on top of
the $600 billion-plus signed by Obama in January, another $600 billion or
so in cuts to Medicare, and deeper cuts to domestic agencies and
the Pentagon than proposed by the president.Simpson and Bowles believe it's
crucial to get the government's debt below 70 percent of the size
of the economy, something that Obama's budget fails to do.Obama and Boehner
have twice seemed close to a budget bargain, but Boehner walked away
from the talks both times after detecting resistance from top Republicans."The
last two years have been marked by fiscal brinksmanship," Simpson and Bowles
said in a statement. "Instead of enacting a comprehensive deficit reduction
plan ... policymakers have jumped from crisis to crisis, waiting until the
last moment to do
April 10, 2013: Activists rally for immigration reform in Los Angeles.APWhile
the authors of the newly released Senate immigration bill touted its multibillion
dollar investment in border security, critics are seizing on what they describe
as a major loophole -- giving the government "discretion" to choose when
to enforce immigration laws.The union representing Immigration and Customs
Enforcement agents has long complained that the Obama administration has
made their job harder by preventing agents from detaining and deporting
select illegal immigrants. They had petitioned members of the so-called
"Gang of Eight" -- the lawmakers writing the immigration bill -- to
address those concerns in the package.But, in a letter obtained by FoxNews.com,
National ICE Council President Chris Crane said "this legislation again
does nothing to resolve that."The letter was sent Tuesday to Sen. Marco
Rubio, R-Fla., a key member of the Gang of Eight, shortly before
the legislation was formally released. Crane thanked Rubio for meeting with
him, a meeting he had long sought, but complained that the bill
did not address his concerns."In fact, it appears that the security components
it does contain focus mostly on the exterior, and rely on the
discretion of DHS, even though DHS is in federal court right now
for undermining the constitutional rule of law," Crane wrote, referring
to a lawsuit brought by ICE agents.The proposal, as emphasized by its
co-authors

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">April 18, 2013: Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., flanked by Sen. Charles Schumer,
D-N.Y., left, and Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., right, speaks about immigration
legislation.APAuthors of the newly released Senate immigration bill touted
the package Thursday as a "bipartisan breakthrough" in advance of a critical
hearing, as opponents began to organize against the bill -- claiming it
doesn't do enough to enforce existing immigration law.Sen. Marco Rubio,
R-Fla., who has put his conservative reputation on the line with his
involvement in writing the bill, took to the floor late Thursday afternoon
to defend it. Though critics have homed in on the bill's pathway
to citizenship for illegal immigrants, Rubio said the package would also
fix a "broken" legal immigration system so that foreign students trained
in America would not be sent back home once they've learned their
skills."If there wasn't a single illegal immigrant in the United States,
we would still have to do immigration reform," Rubio said.As for the
path to citizenship, which would give up to 11 million illegal immigrants
a shot at legal status, Rubio said "the alternative is to do
nothing" -- which he described as "amnesty."Rubio and the seven other co-authors,
who formally unveiled the legislation at a press conference Thursday, are
hoping to avoid the fate of the 2007 immigration bill, which died
amid heated criticism from both sides of the aisle. Republicans have bluntly
professed an in
UNITED NATIONS The joint U.N.-Arab League envoy to Syria on Friday
gave the Security Council a grim assessment of the Syrian civil war,
saying that Damascus is completely uncooperative in negotiations."With the
Syrians, I got nowhere," Lakhdar Brahimi told reporters after the closed-door
briefing.Since last year, Brahimi has been promoting a peace plan that would
call for a transitional government in which Syrian President Bashar Assad
would step aside. Damascus has shown no appetite for discussing Assad's
resignation.Brahimi also chided the Security Council for its ongoing deadlock
over the war. Western and Arab nations blame the conflict on Assad's
government. Russia insists on assigning equal blame to the Syrian rebel
opposition, and has used it veto, along with China, to block draft
council resolutions."On the Security Council, with the Americans and the
Russians, we made some progress but it is too little," Brahimi said."If
they really believe that they are in charge of looking after peace
and security, there is no time for them to lose to really
take this question more seriously than they have until now," he said.Brahimi
denied rumors he was resigning, capping a week of widespread reports in
the Arab world that he was quitting in frustration, or dumping his
affiliation with the Arab League, which has officially recognized the Syrian
opposition forces as the legitimate government.Brahimi assumed the U.N.-Arab
League envoy role las
