It's really sort of moot. This will never go into law and really wasn't meant to.
The passage of this bill was meant to show that senate that the house will not pass an amnesty bill. If Bush and the GOP senators know that amnesty provisions won't be passed then hopefully they will just drop the whole thing.

I think that's a fair analysis of the situation. Let me repeat what I've been saying for a year now:
There will be no significant "immigration reform" in this election cycle; it's getting geared up to be one of the (if not THE) big ticket/hot button issue of 2008.
Everyone should realize this by now, and start supporting candidates accordingly.
