So is the House Bill. And, Tom Davis, R-Va., said this morning that no bill is worse than the Senate bill. The Republicans will be held responsible for no immigration reform by the voters that want immigration reform.
Most polls show the exact opposite, whatever you are quoting is simply what they call an "outlier" in the polling business.
I have spoken against what I call the "border bots" for weeks, but I absolutely hate what the Senate voted for and I am pretty sure most engaged US citizens do as well. It is a travesty, and passing it would lead to a Republican disaster in 06.
A huge majority of Republicans voted for all three major Civil Rights Acts (1964, 1965, and 1968) and then voted for the Equal Rights Amendment in 1972.
Did blacks and feminists rush to the GOP to thank them for this support? Nope! Both became bedrock Democrat support groups, giving the Dems as much as 90% of their votes.

The President's proposal is a disaster for the GOP, for conservatism, and for the survival of America as a first world Western nation.
