They're grim, he told Napolitano, the former Arizona governor. The Senate likely can't squeeze a hot-button topic like immigration onto an agenda already crammed with health-care reform, cap-and-trade energy legislation, a Supreme Court confirmation, a big treaty and appropriations bills, Kyl said. "To try to do immigration reform this year would be an impossibility," Kyl told the media during a news conference at his central Phoenix office. "Secondly, the consensus that existed, such as it was -- it wasn't good enough to pass (in 2007), but at least the consensus that I helped to create -- has to some extent fallen apart. (Sen.) John McCain (R-Ariz.) has made the point that the unions now, which were at least somewhat neutral on the question of a temporary-worker program three years ago now are adamantly against it and say they'll fight it. Well, one of the elements has to be a temporary worker program. "That consensus needs to be recreated. It's going to take a while to do that." http://www.azcentral.com/members/Blog/azdc/58596 |
