A chance encounter in the lobby of the National Press Club suggests that it's possible — not likely, but possible — that immigration reform could pass this year.
Prospects are grim because House Republicans seem dug in on their plan to fight illegal immigration, period, while the Senate wants to combine border and workplace enforcement with work permits and an opportunity for illegal immigrants to become legal residents and citizens.

RINO's ...the most vicious judas goats
"Senate wants to combine border and workplace enforcement "
Ok, I believe you when you say you will enforce NEW laws when you have IGNORED the existing ones. I really do! I believe you! No, really, I do.
We must kill this compromise. If it passes what will Tancredo run on?
The Bush/Dems/Lobby money has scraped the bottom of the barrel with this Kondrake. Who is he, a somebody from years ago?
No Boltenmentum here.
"We must kill this compromise"
The sarcasm would work better if it were actually a "compromise." It's not.
"And pigs might fly"...............AMEN!
Actually, all the legislators do is write the laws. It's up to the executive branch to enforce the laws.
And, guess who hasn't been enforcing the laws for the last few years?
Well I guess he could run against a traitorous group of RINO's.
Guess who is responsible for seeing that the executive branch enforces the laws.
Guess who could force him to enforce the law.
Guess who could impeach him if he doesn't.
"there are a lot of politicians that are in mortal fear that this issue, illegal immigration,will go away. It is the source of their support and funding."
There are a lot politicians in mortal fear their money will dry up if they don't get Amnesty+ through. Why would the casinos, landscapers, hotels, and other lobbies back their campaigns if they don't come through with the goods they were paid for? And promises of presidential runs too, like Hagel and Pence in 2008.
Read the Pence plan.It is a whole lot better than not doing anything. Question: How many more illegals will come here while we argue over amnesty?
"Read the Pence plan."
It reads like it was written by the usual set of immigration lawyers paid by the cheaper labor lobbies who put it in Pence's hand. It was an attempt to plaster over some concerns related by conservatives to the Hagel bill, yet in their glee they couldn't help themselves by putting in things more absurd than the Hagel bill, like the laughable "Ellis Island Centers."
""It is a whole lot better than not doing anything.""
False. It's worse than doing nothing. A lot worse.
"Question: How many more illegals will come here while we argue over amnesty?"
So if we give amnesty they'll stop? I don't comprehend what you are trying to convey.
Kondrake is one of those Beltway elitists for whom compromise requires one essential ingredient - amnesty.
All other parts are optional.
He and the rest of the amnesty crowd are totally wired into the Tarrance Group spin machine. Tarrance is essentially a pro-amnesty not-think tank. Their spokesperson, Tamara(sp) Jacoby is a one-note shrill shill on amnesty and open borders and she gets all the air time she wants.
Tarrance/Lake polls on immigration are always loaded with pro illegal cheap-labor questions, like "Would you rather saves $50,000 on your new house by using hard-working, family-values immigrants?"
There is no outside substantiation of their claim that ". . . voters prefer passing a bill this year that includes what critics deride as "amnesty" to passing no legislation at all."
Bottom line - it you see Tarrance Group or Tamara Jacoby, move on to something else.
every single compromise has been just a back door to slipping in amnesty and torpedoing enforcement.
They do the "slow motion amnesty" vs instant amnesty,
They neuter the wall with mexican consultation and no money to build the wall.
The best that can happen is to let the senate bill and all the Capital B Capital S amnesty compromises die a miserable agonizing tordured death.
I take it you think the exclusion of any human not from the Americas from this "guest worker" program is a positive then?
