"I predict it will by a good bill with broad bipartisan support"

I would respectfully disagree, otherwise the original revisions on immigration reform that were suggested by the 9-11 commission a means to protect the security of the US would have been left in the bill. These people don't want immigration reform ever.

If they cant pass a bill with references and backing a most authoritative 9-11 report, what chance is there when there is no mandate to back it later? Unless perhaps its Hillary that will take up the torch which is perahps their fate now...

So do you like all the 911 commissions recomendations? 336 elected officials with votes that count disagree with you.

That's not true. Dubya has promises that will be debated early next year. It is an issue that really deserves a debate and a lot of people do want that debate. It is approaching Christmas time and the problem of illegal immigration has been a problem for a long time. A few more months will not hurt us.

What would hurt us is doing nothing about out port security, adding no more border agents, and failing to go forward with the other intellegence reforms contained in this bill.

If they cant pass a bill with references and backing a most authoritative 9-11 report...

Would that be the report that Gorelick helped draft?

Unless perhaps its Hillary that will take up the torch which is perahps their fate now...

It's nice to have dreams seastay.
