This is an ENORMOUS concession by the Senate. They're feeling the heat that WE are applying...in concert with many conservative dems who don't support amnesty or open borders.

I know MANY dems who see the border/immigration issue as I do...seal it tight with a fence/wall and deport ALL illegals as we stumble accross them. Imprison all who employ them...a year and a day for each offense.

Those who think our opinions are not making an impact are wrong...the Senate is already moving our way. The bill that comes out of conference will have a wall, severe/real worksite enforcement...and a VERY LIMITED and controlled "guest worker" program to support agriculture. Those who are here today will not be granted amnesty in any form and worksite enforcement will make them unemployable.

When THAT bill goes back to the Senate we'll see who has the cajones to vote against it:)

Are there any liberals that are anti-illegals? (The main left-wing argument I could see from them is that they could claim it brings down American wages and eliminates union, high-paid American jobs)

Exactly. Keep the pressure on, people. My Senators, Martinez and Nelson, are almost hopeless on this issue, but nobody's immune to intense pressure. They each hear from me every day.
