He was pushing a guest worker program, with the possibility of citizenship for some down the road. He has not been "pushing it for the last 6 years".

He was pushing it in 2001. Then 911 happened. He still almost got it passed, but Senator Robert Byrd (D-WVA) stopped the amnesty for illegals bill on a 'technicality'.

He tried again, with the Senate bill last year. That one passed the Senate, but the House members junked the amnesty for illegals bill.

The more I think about Senator Byrd the more I like him. Yes he is a pork king, but he is also an old republican (small r) of the first order.

This is not an amnesty bill. This is immediate citizenship for everyone. It's not what he was "pushing for the last 6 years".

You ignored my second point of course.
