We know the Democrat nominee will be a senator. Between now and next November, the Democrats will see to it that Obama and Hillary cast a vote in favor of a modest reduction of chain migration and a vote in favor of a modest voluntary workplace verification program so that their candidate has a better immigration record than Thompson. They will have Feinstein offer the chain migration amendment so they can really hammer the point home.
