It doesn't matter that an overwhelmingly majority of House Republicans voted to take the felon language out of the Sensenbrenner bill but were defeated by Democrats who cynically (but shrewdly) voted to keep the language intact.

Who was the brain surgeon who put the felony language in the bill in the first place?

Rep. Peter King (news, bio, voting record) tried to explain on FOX News Sunday that the House bill is being distorted and humanitarians aiding illegals wouldn't be prosecuted, but it is too late. The House bill is killing Republicans in the Hispanic community.

King looked positively dopey trying to undo the damage that three months of allowing the false impression (if it is a false impression) to take a firm hold.
