One of the most common sense pieces of legislation to come out of the Congress in years. Thus, it will likely fail.
It was never a "real" piece of legislation. It was merely campaign strategy.
OTOH, there is a real piece of immigration related legislation in the House. The GOP has a bill to raise the H2B quota, but the dems are holding it hostage as a way of retaliating against the GOP over the SAVE act.
