Polls (b.s) show that voters favor Republicans’ hard-line approach to immigration, and there’s virtually no chance that any immigration bill will pass before Congress adjourns for the fall campaign
Quote:
Yet two days before the Senate heads home, Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) is expected to introduce sweeping immigration legislation, a move seemingly designed to drive Hispanics and reform backers to the polls and remind them which party is still pushing for liberalized immigration laws.

The fall push for immigration reform is “for effect rather than reality,” said Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.). And Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah), who previously sponsored the DREAM Act but doesn’t support it now, called it nothing more than a “cynical ploy for votes.”
“Sooner or later, we’ve got to do it, but anything done in this time period is just for show,” Hatch told POLITICO. “Apparently, [Menendez] thinks there is some benefit, but it is cynical and it’s not right to do it at this point. And it’s very unlikely for it to have any success. In fact, it’s impossible.”

I hope Hatch really soften his position and votes for the dream act after the elections.

the article said so, and the article comes from politico.com, which is a very credible source.

Something being introduced doesn't mean it's coming for a floor vote. Every single bill has to be introduced first.

Nothing significant will happen tomorrow. As reported, not even the health bill for first responders of 9/11 will receive attention by Congress, despite the fact that it was passed by the House yesterday. Lame duck season will be what to look forward to. Let's just hope our issue isn't caught up in all the hoopla that will take place during that time.

How come politicians can't broaden their vocabulary? It's like everything now is "cynical." The sun rising in the morning is "cynical." Eating breakfast in the morning is "cynical." Blah blah blah.
