Agence France-Presse is reporting this morning that the Senate immigration will be postponed until next week:

The US Senate postponed a crunch vote on a reform drive to deal with 12 million illegal immigrants, a legacy-building issue for President George W. Bush, a top senator’s spokesman said on Tuesday.

The leader of the Senate’s Democratic majority Harry Reid "postponed the vote until Monday to give more time for the negotiations and dedicate the next week to immigration reform," said Federico de Jesus, a spokesman for Reid.

A vote had been expected to take place Wednesday morning on a reform bill which could then be debated in the Senate, but no agreement had been reached on the reform program after talks ran on late Tuesday.
