Let's see how this works.
Senate passes amnesty bill, letting illegals cut in line for citizenship ahead of people who patiently applied legally from outside.
House passes sensible border security oriented bill.
it goes to house/senate conference committee, where Frist JUST AGREED TO GIVE DEMOCRATS INFLUENCE OVER THE BILL HAMMERED OUT THERE, which gets us a sell out amnesty bill again.
The sell out conference committee bill easily passes in the Senate, then the House is the only hope of stopping it. That's when conservatives need to lobby hard and apply pressure
