I still doubt that we will see a signed immigration bill this year.

What about the Senate? Will McCain and his huge ego go along with the Pence bill? I doubt that McCain and his best RINO pals (Graham, Specter, etc) will be voting for the Pence bill. And, if Harry Reid can hold his caucus together (and he probably will), there won't be a bill this year.

I agree.. my fear is that Nancy Pelosi is driving this process in 2007. That's why I am unsure whether it would be better to have no bill, or a somewhat bad bill like Pence's plan.

No bill as currently written and passed by either of the respective branches will survive intack. There will be give and take that brings both the Senate and the House together or there won't be a bill at all. The movement to the Pence bill offers the Senate something and moves the House away from the bill they passed. Let's see what the next give and take is.
