Did Schummer mean that he can get an immigration bill passed by April or he will introduce an immigration bill by April?

I am pretty sure he meant pass. It only took about a month to pass the CIR 2006 bill in the senate after it got out of the judiciary committee. If he introduces a bill in February and gets it out of committee by late March/early April, it will most likely pass by May.
Immigration =/= health care in terms of length.
The only thing I wonder is why they just don't write a bill similar to the 2006 bill and try to pass it again? The only reason it didn't pass in the house is b/c it was under republicans control.
I agree that before this talk, Brown needs to be defeated on Tuesday. I predict a close election, but Dems turning out enough to sneak one through.
