We all need to pray that the House measure "wins"...or that at least the House members won't capitulate to the Senate..
The Senate bill is a BAD bill, I agree, but, if President Bush had said he wants a bill by say, the first of 2007....there would have been HOWLS by the same people...saying he didn't want to tackle something difficult before the election.
BTW...I agree with Sen. Sessions, that this legislation is right up there in importance as the Social Security legislation, and Medicare....and I don't care WHO is POTUS, it needs time and a LOT of honest debate before any laws are written..
What happened when REAGAN MADE AMNESTY precedent does NOT need to be repeated now.
It sounds like a stalemate between the House and Senate. It actually looks like the BEST outcome is gridlock for now. In the process, a healthy debate ensues, so it's not a wash. And the fact that an election coincides with all this is great. Why shouldn't people go on the record? If the House blocks amnesty, and the stalemate kills any chance of a bill, and then the GOP does better than expectations in the election, that will be a good thing for us. The one lookin' bad will be the lame duck prez and the amnesty crowd.
