Immigration groups eye piecemeal reform as Reid focuses on energy

Put the downpayment for CIR already!

CIR won't pass this year but Dream act will!

Please dear Lord...

“As majority leader, he has the capacity to bring whatever he wants to the floor,” she said. “If he wants to make time on the calendar he can do something. I don’t see that statement as ruling out the possibility of immigration moving forward.”

"Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), vice chairman of the Senate Democratic Conference, who has spearheaded negotiations on broad immigration reform, has resisted breaking it up into smaller pieces"

"So far Durbin has held back from pushing for the Dream Act to move separately from a comprehensive bill".


Once again, does everyone see that these three have not moved a finger to make immigration reform happen?

What? Reid focus on energy? I thought he wants to push CIR first.
What crap is this?

Haha there is no CIR bill. There is an energy bill. Therefore, they move on energy.

you can thank bp and the tragedy in the gulf for that. some people want us to be be energy independent and not need any oil.

If there is no CIR bill then I am not surprised that they are moving forward with Energy.

let's not forget about the oil spill...It's political gold and will be used to push for a strict climate change bill reform thingy. I understand the frustration...hell living here for almost 20 years and not knowing what it meant to be illegal in my teen years took a toll on me, hope go up and down all the time but I know that frankly, we're not the number one priority this country has...All one can do is cross our fingers and hope for the best.

I am glad a consensus is growing among the national pro-immigration groups.
