Someone following the immigration issue closely says White House representatives have been up on Capitol Hill in force today, trying to arm-twist as many "no" votes as possible.

For wavering senators, it's the phone lines ringing off the hook vs. the administration men sitting in their office lobbies.Paging Chertoff!
