Well, I do think there is a politcal will to do this now. As much as I dislike for intance Tancredo, he will serve a very useful function holding everyones feet to the fire on the funding issue. Also I think it is important to get something doen now and a consensus behind it. I have a feeling that meither party is going to want to revist this issue with the same level of hot debate and tension every year. I am afraid if we don't do this now, then if the Dems take power we very well might get something a whole lot worse. Like everything in the Senate bill plus.
McCain, Kennedy, Hagel, Menendez, Specter, Tancredo, Pence, The President and others have political will.
What is missing is the will to enforce another immigration/border security law. The track record of enforcement and securing our borders is pathetic at best.
