Fat chance!

Are you sure? I can see this stuff passing through Congress with a coalition of Chamber of Commerce Republicans and generally traitorous Democrats. To get the Democrats on board they will need to make the amnesty and path to citizenship a little more robust. And they will probably need to back off some on the enforcement too but that won't bother the open borders Republicans much as they don't have any intention of actually enforcing that stuff anyway. That scenario terrifies me. I think that something nasty like this coming out of the Senate is almost a certainty. There are a lot of good conservatives in the House that would really fight it but the House leadership (Hastert and Dreier) both favor this type of solution so I can imagine them along with a little arm twisting from the White House allowing a good House enforcement only bill to be ruined in the House/Senate Reconciliation Committee. We'll be told to shut-up and support the "Grand Compromise".

I'm not saying it is a certainty but I think it is within the realm of possibility.

Not sure if you are responding to me or another poster(I think you may be replying to post 9), but i agree with what you saying. I would never count out the business lobby and the Dems to sell out America.
