The political question about the immigration reform bill unveiled at the White House today is whether it has any chance of passage. Robert’s piece on the home page (I don’t mean to pick on you, Robert, really!) takes issue with the bill’s “controversial” narrowing of the family categories and cap on refugee admissions (there’s no statutory limit now). He writes, correctly, that “Both big businesses and many on the left are beholden to high levels of immigration, low-skill and high-, and a filibuster will require 60 votes in the Senate where Republicans have only 52.” Overcoming that hurdled, he claims, is harder with these provisions.

But the bill actually does have a non-zero chance of passage, one that doesn’t require Lindsey Graham or Chuck Schumer to magically change their minds on immigration. Instead, the key is DACA.

Make sure it's formatted for reading and not simply jumbled up words.
It has to be formatted for reading. But if the mod says we don't have to follow rules. That's okay by me.

I can read it fine in it's current format, so hence it's within the rules.

Okay if you say so. Thanks for the clarification.

The fear that the work permits of 800,000 illegal-alien DREAMers would be allowed to expire without renewal has prompted Senators Lindsey Graham and Dick Durbin to reintroduce the DREAM Act. On its own, the bill’s chances of passage are little better than the RAISE Act’s.

Interesting to see he puts the chances of a dream act passing higher than the RAISE ACT.
