Perhaps….

“Key senators tentatively agreed on a plan to revive a stalled immigration bill on Thursday, aided by President Bush’s support for a quick $4.4 billion aimed at “securing our borders and enforcing our laws at the work site.”

Officials who spoke on condition of anonymity said Republican and Democratic supporters of the bill were presenting their proposal to the Senate’s top two leaders, who in turn arranged an early evening meeting to discuss it.

Precise details to be presented to Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., were not disclosed.”

That’s great, must be a great plan since they don’t want anyone to know the details. Hey “Clueless” that was the problem before, it was being done in the dark! Can we have some transparency?

“In general, according to officials familiar with the discussions, Republicans and Democrats would each be accorded roughly a dozen chances to amend the measure, with the hope that they would then combine to provide the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster by die-hard opponents. The officials who described the emerging plan did so on condition of anonymity, saying the negotiations had been conducted in private.”

Freaking unbelievable. The whole rukus over the bill began because of the fact it was negotiated in secret.

Nevertheless, nothing changes the fact that if the current bill goes forward it goes against the will of the majority of the American people who do not want a quick fix, but measured steps AFTER securing the border.

What we have here is out and out rebellion by our elected leaders. Push this bill outside of the will of the people and there will be price to pay down the road.
