In general, GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Sam Brownback of Kansas and Mike DeWine of Ohio, who is seeking re-election this fall, sided with Democrats. That created a majority that allowed them to shape the bill to their liking.

I can't wait for 2008 to watch Lindsee get stomped but good in the primary!

Sorry for the soapbox.

Thanks for the ping upchuck. I think the Senate version is more in line with President Bush's concept than is the House version. It will be interesting, but in the end I imagine the 11-20 million will have some kind of program to eventually become legal. The one in question here (Kennedy version) is probably more onerous than even Bush wanted (11 years minimum).

BTW, interesting that Brownback was in the majority along with Graham and Dewine. They do not have much in common. In any case, I imagine the floor vote will be interesting.
