Let's do a comparison......The Senate has selected the following 18 to Represent in the conference. 10 Republicans and 8 Democrats. However, best as I can tell, based on y our list of Pro-Amnesties, of the 10 Republicans chosen, only 4 are anti-amnesty. So, in total from the Senate side, thats 14 in favor and ONLY 4 oppose. And of the 4 that oppose, I'm not completely sure that Hatch, Kyle, and Cornyn are REALLY anti-amnesty. Of the 18 chosen, is Sessions the only Senator to represent the Senate in conference who is against amnesty?

Both of these guys at one time we pro-amnesty. Perhaps they have changed their minds? However the original Cornyn-Kyl bill was very much pro amnesty.
