I did not mean disrespect for Durbin. I admire the man for his evident sincere efforts to get this done. But, considering that Republicans would most likely be disposed to vote an immigration bill that combines some border security measure, this version is not likely to pass. It's nice that it's on the agenda, but I doubt this will pass as a stand-alone. Hence, CIR should be given a shot first.
Combining the DA with E-verify, which Reid considers to do later this year, is a little weird. However, I think this attempt would have a better chance than this stand-alone DA, especially since it is the same version that was blocked in 2010. . .
