Who knows for sure,but the reality is that the current Administration hasn't said much on the subject.I thought the change in government would have brought 'change' in immigration,but as time goes by that turns out to be but just another slogan,so far anyway.

Well,here is an article concerning a possible timeline as outline by Sharry,but the only question is what would count as "economic stabilization".[e.g.Positive Dow jones' numbers,Banks starting lending credit,Housing slump ceases]

It's instructive, however, that a driving force for action may be Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who was lukewarm in the last Congress. Reid faces re-election in Nevada in 2010 in a state whose Hispanic population now accounts for almost a quarter of the total. Those voters helped Obama win Nevada last November.

While the agenda that Obama laid out is stunning in its scope, the president and his politically astute chief of staff are likely to conclude that stalling isn't an option on immigration. Emanuel wants to "clean up his image" with Hispanics, says one top Obama adviser.

If so, immigration-reform advocates insist they're ready. "I expect we'll have a come-to-Jesus moment in June, and Rahm will check on how many Republicans there are for the bill," says Sharry
. "If there's any sign of economic stabilization, we'll be ready to go."
