From what's been floated about the speech so far, it looks like it is still a White House push for the largest illegal alien Amnesty in history.
I expect so Rodger that is why we are getting prepared, we will be emailing, calling and faxing everyday:

{{{Speaker Hastert is indicating that he favors appointing members who support amnesty to the Conference Committee Both President Bush and Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist are pressuring Hastert to secure a guest worker amnesty for which the President can claim credit by stacking the Conference Committee with amnesty backers!
}}}
Please call all four telephone numbers to tell Speaker Hastert that backers of H.R. 4437 should be in any Conference Committee! Strong enforcement-only Members of the House to represent the American people!
Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) Office Phone Numbers Speakers Office (202) 225-0600 Hasterts Personal DC Office (202) 225-2976 Batavia District Office (630) 406-1114 Dixon District Office (815) 288-0680
Don't forget about Hastert and the Conference Committee. IMO we need HR 4313. I don't think that 4437 goes far enough but nevertheless. Contact Hastert early and often. We need strong appointees on that Committee.
