The immigration issue will be part of it I'm sure but it won't be the final decider. It is, in my estimation, the final decider for one John McCain's run for the nomination as candidate for that election. He, along with Ted Kennedy were the co-sponsors.
The senators who voted against the bill did so because democracy worked and they listened to their constituents, who those senators are elected to represent.
Ultimately two things have to happen before any reform should take place; enforce current law in regards to businesses and legal proceedings, and secure the border.
Before those two issues are addressed any reform is little more than 'feel good' legislation which is real political posturing without a solution.
