Senators reach deal to revive immigration bill
The Associated Press
FRIDAY, MAY 12, 2006
WASHINGTON Senate leaders reached a deal Thursday on reviving a broad immigration bill that could provide millions of illegal immigrants a chance to become American citizens and said they would try to pass it before the Memorial Day holiday on May 29.
The agreement brokered by the Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, Republican of Tennessee, and the minority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada, broke a political stalemate that had lingered for weeks while immigrants and their supporters held protests and boycotts to push for action.
Key to the agreement is who will be negotiating a compromise with the House of Representatives, which last December passed an enforcement-only bill that would subject the estimated 11 million to 12 million illegal immigrants in the United States to felony charges as well as deportation.
Frist said the Senate would send 14 Republicans and 12 Democrats to negotiate with the House, with 7 of the Republicans and 5 of the Democrats coming from the Judiciary Committee. The remaining 7 Republicans will be chosen by Frist and remaining 7 Democrats will be chosen by Reid.
At least one opponent of the compromise measure, Senator John Cornyn, Republican of Texas, will be among the those appointed to the committee by Frist, said Don Stewart, a spokesman for Cornyn.
Frist said that a "considerable" number of amendments would be debated when the full Senate took up the bill early next week.
Reid acknowledged on the Senate floor Thursday morning that he "didn't get everything" he wanted, but he said that Frist didn't either. Reaching the agreement was "not easy with the political atmosphere," Reid said.
Reid had been taking some criticism for refusing to move forward on the legislation. He had complained that Republicans were trying to undermine the bill with amendments and had insisted that Democrats be allowed to have a say in who served on the House-Senate conference committee.
Republicans, too, have encountered opposition to the compromise proposal, from conservatives who consider its path-to-citizenship provision for illegal immigrants to be tantamount to amnesty.
The Republicans also have had to contend with fallout from opposition to the House bill, which set off nationwide protests that drew hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles, Chicago and Dallas and hundreds more in other cities and small communities.
Presidential and midyear politics have been a subtext to the immigration debate. Frist and Senator John McCain, Republican of Arizona, one of the architects of the legalization proposal, are prominent in speculation about who may receive the 2008 Republican presidential nomination.

In one fell swoop, they get many things designed to advance the New World Order...
I told you'all the fix was in.
Enjoy your new barbarian neighbors.
as long as the house isn't lost this fall, this corrupt bill will never be reconciled at the house level.
This time they "claim" it is for 12 million.
Does anyone "really" know how many there are?
What will it be next time? 20 million, 30 million, 50?
Face it, we have lost the war, without ever firing a shot.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. representative, for supporting the American people.
HAIRY is right, better get the book, or some tapes.
Welcome to Amexica!
More like Can-Ame-Xico. Soon to add Central America it'll be nice to own Panama Canal (good source for chump change). Then perhaps South America After all it's half way named America.
In 1986 over 2.7 million illegal aliens were granted amnesty in what was supposedly the "first and last" amnesty.
This time they "claim" it is for 12 million.

Actually, I am possibly going to purchase a Mexican Restaurant. I see income potential.

That is funny but true.
I own an old building in Durham NC that sat vacant for some time. several years ago someone suggested that I open a mexican / hispanic nightclub there.
I was reluctant to do that BUT the building next to mine was leased to someone who did just that. Shootings, stabbings, drugs and prostitution abound at his club ...BUT he is raking in the money.
This is why this has to be STOPPED NOW!

Had not thought of it in that respect.
It's obvious that our government has sold America out. [B)]
Soooooo......
Since you can't beat them, join them?
Hmmmm........Something to think about. [}:)]
If the 12 to 20 Illegal Immigrants get Amnesty then they get the Right to Vote also.
This is why this has to be STOPPED NOW!
Interesting.. Give this a thought.. Do you suppose the illegals Bush let come in this country REELECTED Him?
to check who is who - I'd imagine we're going to be welcoming another
80 million 'family' members - and can you imagine educating another
20-30 million illiterate kids? Welfare costs will be interesting, etc., etc.
Get your wallets out and assume the position![:D]
