That is 100% your own opinion, and I do not agree with it at all.
the pro-amnesty crowd couldnt get the turkey out of the senate in 2006 nor 2007, nor will they in 2009 or beyond.
THEY LOST.
Of course they lost. - They didn't have the votes. now they do, or will after November.
Why cant they do it down the road? because enforcement is *working*. - border security, law enforcement, and ‘attrition’.
Exactly what they do NOT want. - and there is a leftist agenda to follow, as well.
They want tens of millions of new democrat voters and they will get them.
McCain’s survival is the exception that makes the rule. candidates have gotten killed over their wrong position on immigration (Spitzer/Hillary for example). The new Democrats (blue dogs) coming in are decidedly wary of being tagged pro-amnesty and the GOP caucus has turned as well.
All of that will change next year.
We are going to have this battle again and again, and with a reduced number in both the Senate and House.
My take is that they will push it in the first 100 days if they have the votes to override a veto, if McCain would actually veto.
Judging by his record, I see nothing at all that is proof that he would.
Quite the contrary.
Thank you for your post. - bill
First 100 days? Maybe with Obama or Clinton, a la the 1993 tax hike ...
And Clinton and Obama are so wrong on it ...

... but *McCain has explicitly said he wont go this route until the wall is built and that is years away* ... this stuff is so radioactive I just dont see the Congress being able to pull that over on people or overriding McCain, or getting McCain to go back on his word on this.
2007 was their golden chance and they blew it.
