bills and resolutions first go to committees that deliberate, investigate, and revise them before they go to general debate.

I have a feeling that E-verify will now pass along with this act in the lower house. I really anticipate a heated debate on immigration coming up, guys. I hope Democrats resist and pressure for compromise. I also hope Democrats publicly mention that what the GOP is trying to pass undermines their border security first, then immigration reform platform.

Republicans are so stupid. I swear.

So, either Reid combines this with E-verify and the DREAM Act. Or, Schumer shocks us with a immigration reform bill of his own.

Did Obama get the revenue raises he wanted?
What did the democrats get out of that deal?

I apologize about that. Then I meant the debt ceiling compromise. In terms of the deficit, you can even say that both sides compromised on creating a mechanism (the Super Comittee) for negotiating the aspects of a deficit bill. The point is that members of the GOP have compromised.
