"Key to the agreement is who will be negotiating a compromise with the House and its tough enforcement-only bill."

I hope the House doesn't back down.

[Semper Paratus]

I yearn for the days of 'Gridlock'.

Translation: The GOP has just dropped it's pants and allowed the Rats that MSM to win the day.

This is why the GOP is affectionately known as the "Stupid Party" by those of us in the know.

Hey Frist, what the HELL is wrong with the REPUBLICAN House Bill. Why do you feel the need to inject Kennedy's crap into a good bill? Which side are you on!!!?

[NapkinUser]

Here it comes!

[randog]

...The multi-city boycott – called a "Day Without Immigrants" – was organized by immigrant activists angered by federal legislation that would criminalize the nation's estimated 11 million illegal immigrants...

They must be letting the webmaster write the stories these days....

[Thrusher]

So, does this mean we are just "really, really screwed" instead of "really, really, really screwed"?

[Tokra]

Key to the agreement is who will be negotiating a compromise with the House and its tough enforcement-only bill.

The House passed much more strict immigration legislation in December. It would subject the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States to felony charges as well as deportation.

Here's the only compromise I want to hear:

Deport the aliens WITHOUT charging them with a felony.

Keep your powder dry, folks, this is probably good news.

What it MEANS is that the Republican Senators have looked at the polls, listened to their constituents, and realize that they are going to LOSE CONGRESS if they don't get a Border Fence.

They have a delicate dance to do here, because the President's been talking about amnesty and guest worker. There will probably be SOME of that in the reconciled bill.

But the big thing will be a lot of extended fence, a lot of high tech sensors on the border, vastly expanded border enforcement.

What will probably come out is a bill that essentially CLOSES the border and steps up enforcement, and oh-by-the-way has a generic sort of slow amnesty and discussion of some sort of guest worker program.

Remember: the KEY to the whole thing is getting the border closed. And that's almost certainly to come out of this bill.

If that's there, Border Conservatives will have something important to defend, and will need to vote GOP this fall.

[catholicfreeper]

Well its progress. I for one want something to what Bush is proposing with tough border controls like in the house bill. More importantly I want the money to back it up and not some legislation that is not funded.

[Earthdweller]

Senate leaders say they have reached a deal to revive a broad immigration bill...please don't let Kennedy get his greasy hands on it.

[Icelander]

[george wythe]

In layman's terms, the US Senate is going to allow amendments to the the McCain-Kennedy bill.

Some of those amendment may easily kill the bill.

Let the fireworks begin.

Senate Breaks Deadlock On Immigration

Oh, goody-goody gumdrops. [/sarc]

[Rick_Michael]

I doubt the senate has the courage to do anything worth praising.

[Biblebelter]

The Republican majority is based on Red State Mentality, yet it governs with a Blue State Moronism.

[TexasCajun]

Outlawing Illegal Immigration will surely stop the flood of thousands of Document-Challanged "US Voters".

Say it ain't so, Joe......
