WASHINGTON — The lead Democrat steering an immigration overhaul through the Senate said Wednesday he expects to have a bill ready by Labor Day that is more generous to highly skilled immigrant workers than those who are lower skilled and is tough on future waves of illegal immigration.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Sen. Chuck Schumer said an immigration bill can be done by the end of the year or early next year that works out disagreements between labor and business interests on the flow of legal foreign workers.

"I think we'll have a good bill by Labor Day," said Schumer, D-N.Y. "I think the fundamental building blocks are in place to do comprehensive immigration reform."

15% of Americans are unemployed. This is going to go down real well. Get ready folks and set up a free fax congress acount at www.numbersusa.com and org. They helped stop amnesty last time. It is very easy to use and takes a minute a week to stay on it. They provide canned letters you can modify in one second.

One thing is certain — the SOBs will do their dardnest to get those tens of millions of law-breakers and their extended families full citizenship and voter reg. cards before the ‘10 midterms. Their cushy gov’t jobs depend on it.

He declared himself pro-immigration and said the U.S. should encourage legal immigration and find some kind of path for people now here to find a way to legal citizenship.

Ah, the money quote. Every time we hear of a path for the 12-20 million illegals, they always tag on chain migration. There is no way the US can survive this.

I’m guessing most illegals have already left the USA.

Yup, that’s a problem with being an uneducated peasant from a terrorist police state: he or she lacks the intelligence to forsee how the USA is becoming the same thing.

A fine little piece of writing!
