I really, really hate to agree with you on this......

Here's what I see and what I hope will happen;

There isn't time to pass meaningful immigration reform before this term is up. Of course, if we lose seats in the house or the senate, we may not next year either.

Next year, if we keep or gain seats, I still believe it will be hard to pass a "comprehensive immigration bill". I feel a bad bill is worse than no bill. What I'd like to see is several smaller bills, say a national version of AZ's prop 200, then go on from there.

Now that I can agree on. I would gladly settle for a border enforcement bill first. At least 80% of voters can agree on that. Once the border is secure, we can decide what the legal immigration policy should be...and then, we can tackle the issue of what to do with the illegals who are already in this country.

The only purpose I can see in tackling the three in one bill is that it allows the unpopular parts to be hidden.
