Looks like Harry Reid and Charles Schumer will get their chance to add their Gang of 8 Amnesty bill in conference. And John Cornyn and John McCain will be working side-by-side with them. It's over.

It's over.

You could not be more correct. It's not only over for amnesty but it is over for the America that I grew up in the 1950s.

I wish dueling were brought back on the House and Senate floors. Boehner would then have more to worry about than just where his next payoff and drink were coming from.

The extra money and the Dream Act changes are in two separate bills. That means the Senate can pick one and not the other when they reconvene. This is a cave. It is just conservative optics.

The September conference would be about extra money, not amnesty.

I can't see amnesty in September with the Central American invasion going on.

So, this is theater for the midterms.

The bill is more costly than than the legislation that had to be yanked from the floor Thursday.

translation: The required pork was added to buy the needed votes.

For $700mil. they could buy 2-3 jumbo jets( go to the boneyard and get a really good deal on some 757s, my favorite) and fly the illegals back.
Should be able to get 3 trips/day, times 3 planes. 2-3000/day.

Deal or no deal? Remember, compromising with bad policy is like adding just a little sewage to your drinking water.
