Folks it ain’t over till it’s over:

Amnesty Horror II: It’s Baaaack

Senate Amnesty bill can be resurrected this week with expectations that it will pass:

WASHINGTON – A stalled measure to overhaul US immigration laws is “alive and well” and will come back for a vote after a lobbying effort by President Bush, said Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez and other supporters of the bill.

The legislation might be approved by the Senate in as little as two days if Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, allows debate on the proposal to continue, Gutierrez said yesterday in an interview on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

“I believe the votes were there, and some senators felt like they needed more time,” Gutierrez said. “This is first and foremost a national security bill. The reality is the law is weak, and this bill makes the law stronger.”

Senator Kyl predicts bill will pass before July 4th:

Seven Republican senators voted to end debate on the immigration measure, with 38 against it. The issue is damaging the party, said Senator Jon Kyl, an Arizona Republican.

“It hurts greatly. There is no political winner in this for us,” Kyl told “Late Edition.” “Maybe we could get it to a neutral, but that’s not very good politics.”

Still, Kyl predicted that the measure would pass the Senate before July 4.

Looks like the fight is not over yet and we have more work to do. We may have pulled the stake out to soon.

O M G... What is WRONG with these people? Dont they get it?
We dont WANT THIS POS!

“I believe the votes were there, and some senators felt like they needed more time,” Gutierrez said. “This is first and foremost a national security bill. The reality is the law is weak, and this bill makes the law stronger.”

Then take out amnesty, which has nothing to do with national security. Take out amnesty for criminal aliens.
