THIS DOES NOT SMELL LIKE A DONE DEAL.

Harry is up to something.............

Reid was "trying to get cloture". So, Harry still looks forward to passing the bill. There are ways we can do this. An agreement on a number of amendments. I will do my very best to have more GOP amendments and dem amendments. Hopefully, we can do that in the next several weeks. Lots of support for this BILL ON THE OUTSIDE. People worked very, very hard on this bill. per Harry Reid. Reid's colleague "shed some tears".

THEY ARE NOT GOING TO STOP. They are going to go behind closed doors AGAIN? No, no, no.

You're right, Petronski. They're not going to give up. La Raza is well organized.

Now, we need ENFORCMENT..of the existing laws. Pronto!

It is not yet dead yet. Rumors are the boys and girls in the back room are cooking up a rework of the bill running 400 pages or more to attempt to garner more support. It most likely to focus on the guest worker provisions which are opposed by the AFL-CIO.
