And there's nothing stopping a future Congress and President from passing a law allowing "temporary workers" to apply for naturalization.
Anything that legalizes illegals is amnesty.
Best result: both Senate and House bills die, and we somehow get an enforcement-minded President in 2009, who will use the adequate current laws to address the illegal invasion.
I really like the "blue ribbon commission" I read about in one of the online papers. It could supposedly recommend additional changes to immigration law. Oldest trick in the book for bureaucrats, and somebody has had the nerve to propose it.
They really think we're a bunch of rubes.
