Don't you think it strange that Delay arrived so lately on this issue?

There are many who will tell you that he is only posturing because of his travel difficulties.

There are also those who say that he is working on behalf of Bush to take the issues away from Tancredo.

Whatever his motivations he's saying the right things. They will need the votes of the Immigration Caucus to get meaningful reform through so maybe that's what it's about.

Something has to be done sooner or later, they can't ignore the problem forever. Hopefully they'll start with enforcement legislation first as Delay promised.

Actually, I support Bush-Kyl-Cornyn. But I'm realistic enough to know that it will never have enough votes. The dems won't vote for it. Bush could kiss Tancredo's butt on the Lou Dobbs show and the Immigration Caucus would still not vote for it.

The democrats probably won't vote for it, saying it's to tough, which is a joke. But it really is the only bill that has a chance. McCain-Kennedy is to liberal for the house of representatives and Tancredo's bill is to conservative for the senate. If any of the current three are going to pass, it's going to be the Kyl-Cornyn amnesty.
