Thanks to exhaustedmomma for the Ping!
The compromise wasn't really a compromise at all, because both bills were big on amnesty and weak on enforcement.
This morning, the Senate voted 38-60 against cloture on the Hagel-Martinez compromise, and 36-62 against cloture on the original Judiciary Committee bill - effectively killing both. The similar margins, the staffer says, "show you that the compromise didn't get us very far."

Domestic Terrorist Group Behind Immigrant Rallies - ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism), a front for the communist/socialist Workers World Party, which was identified by former FBI Director Louis Freeh as a "domestic terrorist group," is behind the immigrant rallies taking place around the nation.

The term "Coyote Senators," is an excellent name for Specter, Graham, DeWine, Brownback, and your pic, pretty much, and pitifully sums up the story of H.R. 4437! In the present immigration legislation, the tag team of McInsane (control the Internet) and Kennedy have lived up to their billing, of two huge Jackasses.

Whatever the Hell's Angels are or aren't, I'm thinking they could come up with a better immigration bill than the Senate

The Senate needs to take up HR4437 that is waiting for them and quit writing their own pathetic legislation.

I call this odious amnesty bill "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" Well, it ain't going to fly this year. Screw you Vicente and all the Latino fifth columnists in the USA.

Must Read Ping!
Personally, I'd be willing to kick in that extra 21 cents for the knowledge that a head of lettuce hadn't been picked by some foreign guy who risked his life to get here just so he could be dicked over by some giant agribusiness corporation.
Well, now, that's calling a spade a spade....

The immigration debate is really not a debate at all
It appears that our republic is in conflict. May I provide an excerpt of a letter:
"I am not a Know-Nothing. That is certain. How could I be? How can any one who abhors the oppression of negroes, be in favor of degrading classes of white people? Our progress in degeneracy appears to me to be pretty rapid. As a nation, we began by declaring that all men are created equal. We now practically read it all men are created equal, except negroes. When the Know-Nothings get control, it will read all men are created equal, except negroes, and foreigners, and catholics. When it comes to this I should prefer emigrating to some country where they make no pretence of loving liberty--to Russia, for instance, where despotism can be taken pure, and without the base alloy of hypocracy."
Mary will probably pass a day or two in Louisville in October. My kindest regards to Mrs. Speed. On the leading subject of this letter, I have more of her sympathy than I have of yours.
And yet let say I am
Your friend forever

I recommend reading the entire letter. It contains a rather scathing indictment of democrats.
Heard a representative from ANSWER on Laura Ingraham's radio show the other day.
He said ANSWER split from the international communist movement some time ago, because ANSWER supported the Soviet takeover of Hungary in the late 60s, and also supports North Korea.
So here we have ANSWER supporting this illegal movement. How telling is that? The same group that supported the invasion of Hungary, and the NK regime, is working on this.
