HR 4437 is alive and well. The way I see it, its the intention of Congressmen Sensenbrenner, Tancredo and other GOP House members to push for its passage in joint committee session with the Senate. There should really be two separate bills. One for border enforcement/employer sanctions. The other for a temporary foreign worker program.
What do you think are the odds? To quote from another article I just read on FR, the Senate is happy to "legislate into the teeth of the will of the American public".
I'm not very optimistic about an acceptable compromise, esp. given the dastardly maneuver of postponing the vote to avoid political consequences.
