I have not been following this since the deal was announced yesterday and everyone was greatly pleased that the problem was over. Has anything important happened? BTW, any estimate of the percent of illegal aliens that actually walk across the border? Whatever happened to the term 'wetbacks'? Did the Rio Grande dry up or something? Questions for the end of the week.

The bill has stalled in the Senate.

I don't have any numbers, but I know of no one on either side of the debate who's claimed that it's anything other than the vast majority of them. That's certainly the premise that everyone accepts.
