It Won't Go Away !!!

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid will approve a new deal on immigration on Thursday and move to bring the once-dead legislation back to the Senate floor next week, Democratic sources told FOX News.

Details of the immigration compromise remain to be finalized, but top Democratic sources say Reid has closely monitored the behind-the-scenes dickering over policy changes and a finite list of amendments due for consideration. Based on the latest updates on the policy and amendments, Reid will approve the compromise and move late Thursday to put the bill back on the calendar for Senate consideration in the middle of next week.

"He's going to bless it and he's going to get the Senate back in the business of dealing with immigration," said a source in the Democratic Senate leadership...

...GOP sources tell FOX News that the new bill has enough support from Republicans for Reid to prevail on a procedural vote to get the bill to final passage.

Who knows where this is going, but I'm thinking it will get through the Senate. Hopefully the House will kill this mess. I personally don't think the American people believe the spewing coming from our supposed lawmakers. Nor for that matter The President on this immigration issue. To the average Joe, it seems logical to secure the borders for crying in the sink. "BEFORE" doing anything else.

When I listen to the arguments regarding this issue, none make sense if you follow them all the way through to the end. The one that gets me the most is about they are doing jobs Americans won't do... umm if the farmers would offer the Americans $20.00 bucks an hour do you think they would do it? I do, and we (the rest of us) would end up saving money by virtue of what's happening in our schools and our hospitals just to name two. Bump it to $30.00 an hour and I would bet we would still save money.

Just begin by securing the borders - we should KNOW who is here; let immigration go unabated but just make it a legal process... it is not asking too much.
