I understand that H.R.4437 and S.6211 are bills from the last Congress. I, therefore, have asked you whether you "supported" their passage, rather than whether you "support" their passage.

Why are you afraid to say whether you supported passage of H.R.4437?

Why are you afraid to say whether you supported passage of S.6211?

Why are you afraid to say whether you support giving illegal aliens legal status and a path to citizenship?

Why are you afraid to say which of the Republican candidates for president you believe would make a good president?

I have already addressed you questions.

I know you don't understand this but HR 4437 and S 6211 are/were the same bill. Simply different versions, that were to be merged in conference committee.

Obviously, had the House gone to conference, and negotiated, a final bill would have emerged. But they didn't, so we will never know what that final bill might have been.

Whatever details might have been in that bill, we can say, broadly, that it would have contained enforcement and immigration policy reform.

Now it is 2007 and a new bill will emerge. It will also contain enforcement and reform.

Based on what happened in 2005/2006, we can generally predict what the new bill will be.

In 2005/2006, because the GOP was split/fractured, the dems were able to get more of what they wanted and the GOP got less of what they wanted.

Because the GOP is still split, the same thing will happen in 2007.
