We should not sign a bad Senate Bill just because we "need" to get an immigration bill at all costs (there was a time when an attempt was made to panic everyone into getting bill signed by November's elections at all costs. Luckily the Republican House members weren't buying that crap).

Uh the issue is not "signing" a bad Senate bill. The issue is whether to attempt a conference. But again, that pint sized brain of mine is still trying to grasp the benefits of status quo with no border controls and no new enforcement.

We should have a new immigration bill because its the right immigration bill for Americans.

Yes, and you and a handful of others know exactly what's right for America. Screw the polls, we really don't care what Americans think about it (unless they agree with us). /S

Everything in it's time.
Hearings first, then deep studying of all the traps for American taxpayers in the Senate Bill, then conference if we feel the Senate people are ready to dump their obnoxious Bill for the House version.
If the Senate won't listen to reason, there will be no bill.
And states counties, cities which are under massive onslaught from illegals are simply going to continue what they have been doing, that is, bring in tough anti-ilegal immigrant laws themselves, and crack down hard on the suckers.
That is fine by me.
Meanwhile, as the illegals invasion continues, that issue is going to shoot to the top as one of the top issues of the 2008 presidential elections, and the illegals are still going to lose, Senate or no Senate. Americans are fed up.

Me and the vast majority of Republican voters who have let their congressmen know that they are adamantly against ANY amnesty for illegals Mexicans invaders.
That's why more and more states, cities, counties are passing tough anti-illegal immigrant laws.
They are not passing those laws because their constituents are screaming for more illegals to be allowed into their cities/counties/states to come screw things up.
They are passing those laws because of a groundswell of anger from fed-up voters. There is even a post here about a RATS controlled state congress that was forced to vote in anti-illegal immigrant laws
That the American people speaking right there.
Toy see, unlike you, they have to answer to the people, at the real polls in November, and they are not deaf.
