well first of all, i think what is true is that CIR is very likely NOT going to happen this year while DA is possible BUT is not the priority on the mind of the White House Administration because, the WHA had said in the past, "we will begin on our Health Care reform".

To the WHA, most of the DA pariticaptians have already waited for years, then, why not another year?
Plus, to the WHA, what is more important? HCR seems to be a bigger deal because it's legal, in the first place, again, there is nothing ILLEGAL.
Maybe we will still have a chance if they do pass the HCR in a quick mode..... since Democratic is controlling the entire Congress.

So I suppose, even though the report said WHA isn't going to focus on neither DA nor CIR, I just believe it is still somehow true. Maybe not, we will never know. But as far as IN THE REALITY, DA and CIR is never their priority. Some people may even demand border security act stand alone before CIR.

I am still hoping for DA in the late 2009, hopefully. All we can do is do well in school, help each other out.

And of course, wait.
