The House is where we will obtain border security and enforcement.....NOT the Senate.

I'm not sure what point you are trying to make. I had hoped that the House would pass a solid enforcement bill. But if it passes with this bill with "sense of the House is that we need a guest worker shamnesty" language in it, it is an invitation for the House Leadership to include whatever shamnesty language the Senate comes up with next spring during the Joint Senate/House Reconciliation Conference. The House Leadership is almost universally pro-open borders. That includes Hastert, Dreier, and now Sensenbrenner. Given language like this to work with, it is pretty obvious what they will do.

I agree with the idea that if the final bill from the House includes this shamnesty language we are better off with no bill from the House. We'll just let the problem fester and throw a few open borders Republicans out of office next Fall and see if the rest get the message.

The Senate's two bills, McCain/Kennedy and Cornyn/Kyl both contain "guest worker" provisions that reward illegal aliens with a pass. The worst being McCain/Kennedy, IMO, I see no strong language in either that would secure our borders.

I'm watching CSPAN for upcoming debate in the House.
