Wrong sinkspur. You've made plenty of comments in de facto support of the Senate plan. You know the Senate won't consider an enforcement-first approach and they won't even give Pence's compromise the time of day. You want the House to "negotiate" with the Senate, which they might as well just bring some kneepads to the table too.
IOW, you're support of the Senate plan isn't blatant but you know they're not going to consider any enforcement provision of the House plan & you foolishly think people are going to blame the House Republicans for killing (cough, cough) comprehensive immigration reform.
Ergo, you support the Senate plan.
No one knows what they will consider in committee. For crying out loud. Here is reality. At this point NOTHING will be passed this year. So what happens? Well we stay with the status quo OR we lose congress and then the Democrats pass a bill that will make the present Senate bill look draconian by comparison. Even if Bush vetoes it it will be over ridden in the Senate. Tancredo will then have his issue to run on in 2008 and it will be as the new 3rd party hero.
