This article is about a new Republican Senate. What you are talking about would need to occur in the current Congress. Any bill not passed when the new Congress is sworn in in January is trashed, and needs to be started from scratch.

Amnesty has turned into a third rail in these midterms, there is ZERO chance that a Republican Congress/Senate pass a bill that includes amnesty. I would be surprised in they pass anything that Obama will sign. My guess is that they pass a bill and Obama vetoes' it. Then they override the veto with bipartisan support from moderate Dems. The Republicans then become the party of activity, and the Dems become the party of no.

They don’t have the numbers to over ride.

There are 3 patriotic Dems (on immigration) in the House of Reps. Even the Arizona Democrats are getting away with pushing amnesty because the Arizona Republican candidates are just as bad.

It is ironic. They had a poll that had Steve King as the most partisan house member but the most non-partisan were the 2 Democrats that vote with King 99% of the time on immigration.

“We are sending the wrong message abroad if we keep waiving the penalties for breaking our immigration laws.”

“We are happy to return our endorsement to Congressman Mike McIntyre; his opposition to any form of amnesty for illegal immigrants makes him a clear choice over David Rouzer, who supports AgJOBS Amnesty for illegals,” said William Gheen.

4th best Democrat: Dan Lipinksi (D-IL03):

“We have so many people unemployed in the country right now,” responded Lipinski. “We have wages that have been stagnant for decades. So, how does allowing more people in here to work legally not do more harm to that?”

Tempers flared among the attendees when the Hispanic and Arab representatives disagreed with the idea that they are taking jobs away from American workers.

Lipinski is probably more conservative than Mark Kirk. His district is also pretty safe. He could vote for amnesty and still win so he is much better than many members of congress.
