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.

I agree. I don't like either. Cornyn is the much better of the two. Because it makes the workers leave it is not an amnesty (except for the employers). And it does have some fairly decent enforcement language that Kyl stuck in. But it is still a massive influx of ignorant cheap labor which the taxpayers are going to be forced to subsidize while it drives blue collar workers out of the middle class.

One or the other of these bills is likely to pass in the Senate. My prediction is that it will be a combination of the shamnesty provisions from McCainneddy coupled with the enforcement provisions from Cornyn/Kyle. I will be adamently against it.

It will then go to the Senate/House Conference to be reconciled with whatever the House comes up with.

If we allow the bill that comes out of the House to contain the language that Jeff Flake has inserted "it is the sense of the House that a guesswork program is necessary to keep the economy growing" it will be an invitation for the House Leadership (Hastert, Dreier, Sensenbrenner) who are all tools of the Chamber of Commerce Open Borders Lobby to adopt the Guestworker Shamnesty language passed by the Senate without any opposition in the Conference.

We will then be in the position of having to try to kill the "Grand Compromise". I think it would be better to just kill the House bill now rather than pass it complete with the language that will inevitably lead to trying to kill it later. If we wait until we are fighting the Grand Compromise, it is going to pass with the support of RINO Republicans and all the Democrats who will vote for the amnesty with a path to citizenship. At that point there is no way for us to win.
