"Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D., Ill.), who will lead the effort to pass an immigration bill in the House, said he plans to introduce a bill in December, working with the Hispanic Congressional Caucus. "There's going to be a big battle," he said. Mr. Gutierrez disagreed with Ms. Napolitano's claim that more government enforcement has improved the chances of a comprehensive overhaul. "We've always had strong enforcement," he said."

Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.), who will lead the overhaul effort in the Senate with Sen. Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), said his office is working to produce "a tough, fair bill" that can get 60 votes in the Senate.
This is very good news. Looks like this will be a bipartisan bill with senators from both parties leading the efforts to overhaul the immigration system.

Quote:
Lamar Smith (R-TX), the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, voiced concern in a statement Friday about Ms. Napolitano's proposals. "How can they allow 12 million illegal immigrants to take jobs that should go to citizens and legal immigrants?" he said.
Once again I am dead sure that opponents of the bill will come up with such baseless and completely false statements to scare the public and spread xenophobia.

I'm very glad to hear Gutierrez is working with Graham on this bill, and it's great to hear this out of a news source as big as the WSJ
