Well it looks like nothing is going to happen and the complaining will continue for at least 2 more years. At least the President wanted to do something. Most in Congress would rather do nothing, issue press releases complaining and asking for money, or offer totally irrational solutions.

And if anyone thinks that Tancredo is going to get anything passed, they're dreaming. His so called "plan" (which isn't that dissimilar from the President's) is beyond DOA.

Maybe if Tancredo and his ilk would try and work with the President (instead of doing nothing but violating President Reagan's 11th Commandment) there would be a chance for real reform of the immigration system. Instead it will be business as usual which translates to not a dang thing being done about it.

I've never thought anything was going to happen on immigration. Bush put forth a plan, Congress is in the process of shooting it down, so things will just go on as they are.

All of this hell-raising is just that. Does anybody see the American voter up in arms about immigration?

They don't like illegal immigration, but don't seem to want to do anything about the status quo.
