Good news! I hope so. The only bill congress needs to pass is if your illegal - No benefits, and no rights. If you violate the law and found illegal you will be deported. period.

Good question. I thought it was a done deal.

If less than 20 support it, and 40 are not even ready to commit, how do they have a deal?

I don't trust a damn one of them. They can say anything they want in public, but when the chips are down ( and the checks are written) its that final vote that counts.

Remember its easier to apologize than it is to ask permission!

when they don’t have the votes, the behind the scenes arm twisting begins....

Watch and see if they add a bunch of pork to the bill to get it passed. Then see if Bush objects to that pork as much as he did the pork in the Iraq funding bill.

If he represented GA in the Senate,the opponents would be lining up to oppose him. And he would be nearing the end of his public service.

Then let's hope that it does happen to our duplicitous members Chambliss and Isakson. You saw them up on the podium with Kennedy and heard their comments this weekend, right. They have been front and center on this from the start. I guess the chicken plants got scared over the upcoming state law changes.

Well, I think the McCain for President campaign is dead now.

Since this the Bush WH #1 priority, I expect lots of pressure from them to get it done.

"If after closing the border we find that we do have a labor shortage, then all we need to do is allow screened, law abiding, legal guest workers into the country with temporary work visas."

I agree, but there would be no labor shortage if a certain percentage of the population weren't well paid to sit on their arses and not work.

An American "Food for Work" program is needed.

The fact that any support it is disturbing enough.

It may be the WH’s #1 issue, but American Patriots can still put the “Harriet Miers” effect on this issue.

If there’s a more arrogant bunch of left wing Marxist slobs than in Levin’s office, it’s unknown to me. Levin has appeared once in 10 years in my territory and his staff refuses to hold town meetings. Levin is well disliked around here.

Productive citizens and conservatives are leaving this socialist state by the tens of thousands. What remains are welfare slobs, socialist bureaucrats and the various lawyers, engineering firms and construction companies that leech off the taxpayer body and retirees.

MI is DOA for any conservative looking to live a productive life and will be so for a generation or more.

They have a deal to get this travesty out of committee, not to get it passed?
Maybe this is a good thing - get it out of committee and kill it for good in a vote?
