I disagree: reasonable thinking is not on the Senate's side.
Based on the past, verifiable history of the government's broken promises on immigration, "enforcement first, enforcement only", at least until 2008, is the only reasonable solution.
So, now you're on record siding with the Democrats and the Republican liberals in the Senate against the conservative Republicans in the Senate and House. You do know that the Senate bill was passed primarily by Democrats with a handful of Republican sell-outs thrown in to pass it. Funny how it turns out that you always seem to be siding with the Democrats and liberals on this conservative forum. Why is that?
