Lest anyone think that something good is going to come from this, Byrd consistently voted against amnesty in 2007.

I would not be surprised if Dems start pushing amnesty again, fearing that they have to do as much damage as possible this year.

They already are pushing amnesty. If nothing else, it will happen after the 2010 elections.

And they won’t worry about American public opinion.

The Mexicans and terrorists will be the ones to decide.

Then it will be up to we the people to stop it, as the Republicans in the House& Senate will just watch & snivel.

You’re right about Byrd being against amnesty. In fact there are a couple more things he voted more conservatively than John McCain did. He also endorsed Bush on Larry King.

RE :”I would not be surprised if Dems start pushing amnesty again, fearing that they have to do as much damage as possible this year.”

When Obama came up with this immigration reform crap a few months ago because he promised the Hispanic caucus he would in return for the critical (final House) Obama-care vote; the Dems in congress told him it was not possible to even get a decent vote. Their taste for suicide votes is long gone.

The plan is to try to pass stuff after the election before the new congress.
