On one side is Cambodia, one of the world's poorest countries, where corruption is rife, poverty and disease are rampant, and a facade of democracy has been erected by a strongman prime minister. On the other side is Thailand, one of Southeast Asia's largest ...

Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said one of his goals with the measure was to jump start efforts to pass immigration reform in Congress.

"It's my hope that the bill we're passing today will break the deadlock," he said. But that hope ended moments later, when Sen. John McCain and Sen. Jon Kyl, Arizona's two Republican senators, called the measure "a start" and accused ...
