I doubt seriously the senate will ever pass the thing. Under senate rules any senator can tie it up under any number of procedures.

I think it will pass. In the 109th Congress the Reps voted against the comprehensive immigration bill 32-23 and the Dems voted for it 40-4 [counting Jeffords.] The proponents of the bill have enough votes to invoke cloture and vote on the bill. It will pass in both the Senate and the House and will be signed by the WH.

They passed essentially the same bill last session.

Ironically, the previous attempt before that was shortly after the 9-11 attacks. That attempt was stopped by Senatory Robert Byrd (D-WVA) 'on a technicality'.

Which R will step up and stop this? I'd bet on none.
