I read that as well. It's kind of interesting if you are the conspiratorial type, (I'm not), meaning the theory that the amnesty legislation never had a chance and it's all one big grand design. If so, I'm certainly not complaining.

As someone pointed out here in an excellent post during the amnesty debacle, the one thing that both sides claim to agree on is the need for better enforcement of the border and current laws, so why not just start w/ that? Anyone who live in SoCal can tell you that ANY reduction in the #s of illegals would be a positive step, even when they deport or incarcerate 1 gang member it has a benefit. If they deported 1000 people, it's not spitting in the ocean. That is 1000 less cars on the road, 1000 less people using expensive taxpayer-funded services, a couple hundred apartments becoming available (potentially) for Americans of low income, etc., etc...

Let's get started. This could keep us busy for a decade, and if this country was a 5th grade class, I'd say we need a project right about now.
