In addition to addressing citizenship, Sens. Charles Schumer (D, N.Y.) and Lindsey Graham (R, S.C.) are working on legislation that also would include a guest worker program, border security measures and a new requirement that all workers have a biometric identification card to make sure employers don't hire people who aren't in the U.S. legally.

Democratic strategists said Friday that Mr. Obama's new push reflects a renewed feeling after the health care bill's passage that difficult legislation can be accomplished. But they said the White House also sees the Arizona law as a political opportunity.

They likened Ms. Brewer's decision to that of California Gov. Pete Wilson in the 1990s, whose embrace of anti-illegal immigration measures preceded major losses by Republicans among Hispanic voters.

The Arizona law appears to be "unconstitutional," said Karl Manheim, a law professor at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles who has written about states' past attempts to regulate immigration. "States have no power to pass immigration treaties because it's an attribute of foreign affairs. Just as states can't have their own foreign policies or enter into treaties, they can't have their own immigration laws either."
All I have to say is, Thank you Arizona for starting this debate over Immigration all over again. It has reached to a level where the heat will not simmer down. CIR will be brought to a conclusion.

I'm at a point where I just want this to be over-- regardless of the result being good or bad. I want a vote! I no longer want to wait-- just tell me-- YES or NO already!

What I meant was that Congress should take the votes when they know they have enough votes to pass.

Why would they just vote for the heck for it?

LOL/////I agree, Congress cannot just say let's vote, when there are not enough votes to pass a legislation.

But yeah, I want all this to be over, but I want it to end the Good way, BEcause i dont know about my future without legal status... ....but hopefully, I'll be like this
