Your right. But Bush, Frist, and Cornyn have been saying that the issue needs to be settled on the floor of the House and Senate. That it needs to be a comprehesive, stand alone piece of legislation. Not piece-meal amendments added onto the funding bill.

Its interesting that Norquist mentions something about some democrats that would vote for the Bush plan. I guess that would be Hillary.

You may have seen the Wash Times article posted here overnight in which McCain is quoted as saying "we're ready", in reference to the new compromise bill that he and Kennedy wrote.

I imagine this will be the bill that gets attached. I wonder if I will get a chance to read it before it gets enacted

Kennedy and McCain's bill ain't going nowhere, at least I don't think so. That would get stripped in Conference since they want to get the military spending bill through and it would cause too much opposition in the House and hold it up. Besides, they know McCain's only pushing this because he's running for president and thinks sucking up to illegals will get him in. Kennedy's excuse is he's just an A/H.
