Senate Judiciary Shuffles Subcommittee Gavels
 
This is interesting,It looks like Senator Schumer will be mainly responsible for any mark-up of an immigration bill since he is now Chairman of the Immigration sub-committee in the Senate for the 111th Congress.
Quote:

Charles B. Schumer, D-N.Y., will take over as chairman of the Immigration Subcommittee, replacing Edward M. Kennedy , D-Mass., who left the committee to concentrate on a health care overhaul as chairman of the Health, Labor, Pensions and Education Committee.

Schumer is on our side. I'm glad he got this job. I think the immigration problem could be solved in two to four years. Dream will probably pass this time. I'm optimistic.
