Grassley is on cspan now regretting voting for amnesty in 1986 and telling how it failed and will fail again....
My guess is on election day this November.
Nobody wants to do anything, because nobody wants to lead.
If leadership were water, Washington would be a desert right now.
Off-shore accounts, change of domecile plans, asset-protection trusts, you name it. Invest in small regional banks that lend to illegal aliens (mortgages & business loans); short government bonds issued to cover budget shortfalls; invest in private security, schools & health care stepping into gaps resulting from gov't pull-backs.
Another large scale trend that we might expect to see would be a downturn in service enlistments. It no surprise that recruits are asking for what, and for who, they are fighting. Still haven't figured out how to make a buck on decreasing US security though. However, like our elected leaders, I will have thoroughly stopped giving a crap.
I'm very skeptical that the Senate will learn anything about any of their NWO puppet master led/commanded globalist goals and values--including the immigration mess hell-bent to make of NORTHAM one country.
Certainly all the DIMRAT powermongers are sold out to such Marxist/socialist/Machiavellian/globalist evils from hell.
And probably plenty of the RINO's, too.
Such forces have long targeted control of the Senate as it was easier and more powerful per person, per State.
But they haven't exactly neglected the House wholesale, either.
"When Will the Senate Learn From Its Immigration Mistakes?"
When will we vote them out of power?
"If leadership were water, Washington would be a desert right now. "
Well said.
aliens only have to pay "back taxes" for 3 of the last five years their choice...I can't wait for Congress to vote for tax amnesty for citizens, surely they don't expect us to pay more for this crap than the illegals themselves..they have truly gone insane.
and don't forget amnesty for employers now being proposed: ...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1636331/posts?page=1,50
"Nobody wants to do anything, because nobody wants to lead.

The Dem base has been shut up with threat of the race card thrown on them. Rove gave the signal to the MSM that the "problem" would be "House conservatives" and they ran with the definition, easily manipulated.
Encapsulating what Bush has said, if you are against his plan, you are racist, atheistic, unAmerican, unwelcoming, and uncaring.
Bush has burned so many bridges here he must be expecting some big payback laundered as speaking fees after 2008.
The question assumes that most of the Senate has their heart in the right place..
Which IS "the mistake"..
"Still haven't figured out how to make a buck on decreasing US security though."
You have to have a large business with many employees to begin with. Then you support open borders to inflate the labor pool and lower wage costs.
If the Amnesty isn't enough, you support even more "guest worker programs." Part of the class war strategy of the businesses behind this issue is playing to the middle that "unskilled" Americans tacitly don't deserve what they are getting, and their wages need depressing. The "unskilled" hate-meme might be problematic. Is a painter "unskilled?" Another way you might make money is becoming a lobbyist/analyst that will provide "reports" and pseudo-scientific data defining more and more occupations as "unskilled."
In the House and Senate, the leadership and the numerous committee chairs are only interested in maintaining the perks of their various positions.
LOL, Well if you can’t beat them………….
Personally I want to be the first on my block with a tax subsidized guest worker. I have spent enough time in Mexico, Central and South America to understand how the system works.
If we are going to turn this nation into a banana republic I will take full advantage of the caste system, I will do all I can to keep the poor impoverished so I may benefit from their misery. Just need to make sure we invest in a strong military and police units to put down the occasional rebellion. s/
