The real issue is the one step versus the two step, or some sort of one and a half step, where things go real slow, until step one (staunching the flow) is achieved. The idea of putting guest workers on a path to citizenship also seems insane. Another insanity is this attempt to distinguish and figure out who has been here how long. Then the parents and the kids and the clan get to pop on in. A final insanity is that the learn English requirement, means enrolling in an English class. Please! The whole thing is a cruel joke and an embarrassment. And the numbers in play, are massive, just massive. Bush and the Senate majority must think voters are stuck on stupid or something. JMO.
You've got it right, but I guessed that onyx meant that the Sessions amendment would lead the House to stand strong with President Bush. It doesn't make much sense any other way.
Though why anyone here would want the House to stand strong with GWB as he flushes the GOP majority down the toilet for a generation is an open question..
Another thing that I can't help but wonder about is why hardly anyone seems to be talking about the elephant in the room: That we're debating whether to give citizenship to a minimum of 10 million future Democrats who will turn right around and ship in another minimum 10 million future Democrats. It seems that for some reason talking about the political implications of all this is just taboo, as if that's 'beneath' us or something.
Or maybe there really is this absurd delusion that the illegals will vote Republican once they're granted citizenship. LOL
No .. though I will admit there are a number in the Senate that are a real PITA
There are huge numbers of the stupid voting. Kerry got almost 50% of the vote last election.
