This bill has been drafted for a long time awaiting the right time to introduce it. These things take time to prepare. Who actually created the bill? It obviously was prepared with much thought in advance.

Who actually created the bill?

Kennedy and the special interest groups that control him, is my guess

[Reagan Man]

Of course PresBush has been slowing driving for guest worker amnesty since he took office. The original S.2611 came down April 7 2006. The first amendment to S.2611 was introduced on May 15 2006. The Senate immigration reform proposal has been called McCain-Kennedy and Hagel-Martinez. The House version HR4437 was passed through a floor vote last December 2005, 239-182, 92% of Republicans supporting and 82% of Democrats opposing.

If there is a Congressional conference committee, this joint session of Senate and House members will attempt to create a compromise proposal between a liberal guest worker amnesty proposal (S.2611) and an enforcement only proposal (HR4437).

Frankly, I don't think there will be any bill this year for Bush to sign.

Alberto Gonzales?

The bean was spilled last week -- all the bills came out of Kennedy's office -- even the one with Hagel-Martinez on it.
