I have no doubt that Senate Democrats in overwhelming numbers will once again support an amnesty bill, just as they did during the last Congress. It will not pass the House.
No immigration bill supported by Ted Kennedy is going to pass the House. President Bush could not convince the House to support an amnesty bill last session and he won't be able to convince the House to support an amnesty bill this session.
I've already told you that is a possibility. And the GOP will be labeled as obstructionists, and will suffer politically. That is the democratic strategy.
The democratic goal is to drive a permanent wedge between the GOP and Hispanics. Just like they did with Blacks and Goldwater.
