From the article;
"With no prospects this year for passing broader immigration changes, House GOP leaders said taking action to seal the border was a matter of urgency. Some GOP lawmakers including Sen. Arlen Specter (news, bio, voting record), R-Pa., however, have said they're not sure immigration could be addressed "on a piecemeal basis."
Frist said he is willing to push ahead with a narrower version favored by House Republicans. Even so, action may not be possible before the November elections, he said, blaming Democrats.
"If you're going to address immigration reform, you have to first and foremost secure our borders," he said on ABC's "This Week." "What I've done, and hopefully what we'll be voting on the floor of the Senate this week, is take the common parts of the House bill and the common parts of the Senate bill."
