U.S. Democratic Party leaders said last week that an overhaul of immigration law could advance through Congress this year if Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid can pick up enough support to muscle it through the Senate first, according to April 22 remarks by Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Pelosi told reporters that she will find the votes for the measure in the House -- where Democrats have 254 of 435 seats -- if the Senate can clear it.

Senator Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who has been working with Democrats on an immigration overhaul, said rushing legislation this year would be a mistake because it doesn’t have the votes yet to pass.
Hey look its magic !

Simple question for ya steamwake, see if it can penetrate all that tin foil.
If(and that is a very big if) federal immigration law gets overhauled before the election, and if the legislation makes it all the way through the ratification and enaction process before the election , and if that legislation is passed with an amnesty provision included how on earth can it possibly make instant citizens and voters when every amnesty program or proposed program has involved current illegal aliens starting a long process for applications aimed at possibly eventually gaining citizenship.

Democratic immigration overhauls... like giving illegals DLs here in NM?

Amnesty rewards criminal behavior, period. I'm against it regardless of what party or party members support it. Make illegals leave, then come back. I'm fine with putting those fluent in english to the front of the line, but they still need to GTFO, form a LINE and come in legally.

That's the definition of civilization, BTW, spontaneously forming lines. I want no one to become a citizen who doesn't GTF in line like a decent, civilized person.

Sure just like they ratified and enacted 'process' with the health care bill.

They will do everything in their power to bring these 'votes' in.

Really ?
You have come up with a crackpot conspiracy theory and each time you post your "proof" you post things that are unrelated to your little theory, every time a pertinant question is asked about your seemingly crazy claims you post even more nonsense.

Regarding getting votes in Congress, that's how they do it. They will buy votes off with pork. That always happens. IMO, there should be a rule limiting bills by subject. The budget is clearly tricky, since pork is spending.

I'd rather have them have to vote on many smaller bills though, than, say, and immigration bill that also contains funds for a bridge in this district, support for something else in THAT district, etc. No easy way around it though.

As a reality check, the Washington Administration insisted that the US heavy frigates (Constitution, President, United States, etc) all be built in different districts, and from materials that came from even more districts. This was to insure broad support, lol.

So you got this from fox news who heard about it from an unnamed Bush administration official (no conflict of interest there), who heard it from "three guys" but no names.

Sounds like a credible story to me. Especially since this unnamed official talked with THREE unnamed guys. Now if this unnamed Bush official only talked to one unnamed guy, the story would not have any credibility.

Maybe I can be interviewed by Fox news?

I work with this guy who was talking to another guy whose mother swears she saw Elvis.....film at 11.

Comprehensive legislative solution????

USA's problem is not in lack of legislation but,
the government's refusal to enforce that legislation.

Does Obama seriousely believe the american people are so stupid?
