The one that would make the illegals legal, gosh I hope not! ILLEGAL!!! There's a right way and a wrong way, why should we honor the wrong way?

It is impossible to know when or even if it will be voted on, since it has not been placed on the calendar. The last thing that happened with the bill is the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on it.

It isn't in place yet.  The Senate passed one version, the House passed a different one.  The Senate will give theirs to the House to see if they can negotiate one bill for all of Congress to vote on.  If they can't, it will not go further.  Meanwhile other people are sponsoring new legislation to see if that is better or more popular.

The Senate shot it down.  The House passed it and the Senate would not, they are supposed to present another bill sometime this week, as to whether it gets to Bush or not is another thing.  Anyway he is a politician from Tejas, what possible benefit would slowing the flow of illegal immigration be to him?  It's not like Cheney could be elected.  Thank God!!

The only constant is change.  Change is bound to happen.  the changes we have going on right now aren't so good.  Sound legislation needs to be written.  It needs to be written based on the peoples needs.  The majority of the US is against illegal immigration.  Our politicians must respect that.

The Judiciary Committee is going to vote on the latest bill in the senate.\n\nCall them and tell them,\n\n"NO AMNESTY"\n\nhttp://judiciary.senate.gov/press.cfm

first of all no legislation has been introduced that will change their current status . Most of this has been brought on by a bill proposed in Congress that would have stiff penalties for illegal status . I personally think that this has frightened them and they want their voice's heard . As it stands right now the ideas range from amnesty to prison . It's anyone's guess what sort of comprimise will come out of this .

The Senate has already passed the bill for amnesty. They also attached a provision that the United States has to consult and get permission from Mexico before doing border control. We have been sold out to Mexico.

First of all, keep in mind that there are no changes to the immigration laws yet. There still needs to be a consensus bill bewteen the Senate and House which the President would need to sign.\n\nAside from that, if the Senate bill were to pass in its current form, it will not have any effect on the status of those who are here legally. The proposed legislation offers legalization, and, in some respects, will put the illegals on a path to residency/citizenship faster than those who have followed the rules (no matter what their status). It is a definite slap in the face to all those who followed the letter of the law, but that's the U.S. government for you....to the politicians in Washington, its not about what's right, its about getting re-elected.

Nooooo, until they take out the amnesty clause, I don't ever see it passing the house.  We can't reward criminals, otherwise the whole damn country of Mexico will hit the border and try to get in.

I doubt that the bill will pass.  Neither party is ready for the backlash such legislation would cause.\n\nThe logic behind the bill is flawed as well.  The idea is that politicians will be more reluctant to use military force if the possiblity exists their child maybe drafted.  How many times has a politician that was of age during the Vietnam war been criticized for using political favors to avoid service?  Clinton, Bush, Rumsfeld etc., etc.  In the end the law would have no teeth and would not accomplish what it was intended to do.  Combine that with the fact that every interview I have seen with military command has indicated they do not want or need a draft and it seems unlikely the legislation will pass.

No not yet unfortunately, i hope they pass that because these illegals are causing this country money and some might say no they are not, but the way things are going it definitely will.  Either come in legally or go away!

http://www.alipac.us/article-1242-thread-1-0.html\n\nThe US Senate could go to a vote any day or hour now on S. 2611 which \ncontains amnesty for both illegal aliens currently in the US and for \nemployers that have broken the law hiring them.\n\n\n\nSenator Sessions says S. 2611 to bring 217.1 million new immigrants in 20 years    http://www.alipac.us/article1223.html\n\n\n\n\n\nGOOD NEWS\n\n1.  This bill is so full of amendments now that neither side really \nlikes it increasing the chances it will fail.  If it does pass, the \npoliticians that voted for it will face even more opposition from the voters \nfrom both sides of the issue!\n\n2.  If they pass S. 2611 the fight is not over yet so do not get \ndiscouraged.  It still has to pass our House lawmakers.  Also, there are \nbenefits from a Senate vote that passes this amnesty bill.  On one hand, it \nwill allow us to determine exactly who we need to target for removal in \nthe elections.  On the other hand, passage of S. 2611 will INCREASE THE \nELECTORAL BACKLASH on this issue.\n\n3.  Even if the Guest Worker amnesty program is passed into law, it \ncontains a fatal flaw.  It does not grant instant amnesty.  This will \nallow time for the majority of American citizens to assert their influence \nover the lawmaking process through the elections.  If signed into law \nby George Bush, we will immediately announce our intent to seize \npolitical control of the program, remove any citizenship plans, and use it as \nan effective targeted deportation tool for illegal aliens that do not \nreturn to their home nations on their own volition.

I think people understand wut is going on. If this law passes their is going to be so many changes that can affect so many people. Did u know if u have a green card they can take it away. Also if this law passes they can ship ever single person back weather legal or not.

I think we will finally get a comprehensive immigration reform bill....Which means, some will be deported and others may receive amnesty, it will be taken case by case.....I think it will be better for the illegals living here for years and with no felonies....They may finally receive amnesty.....For the recent illegals, I feel they will possibly deported....We have to have fairness and common ground.....

Hoyer was just elected over Pelosi as majority leader in the House, did you see?\n\nWe are waiting to see who the powers that be are.\n\nHowever, think hard what a pass-able solution might look like and write to your congressmen.  That would be my suggestion.  It is starting to sound like if they move forward it would be something new, not a 'version' of the Senate Bill (thank heavan).  That means voices need to be heard.

The bill has been brought before the parliament but they havn't decided yet.\n\nMost supporters of the vice prez oppose it but the prez supporters support it. Most of the state governors support it too.
