Immigration Bill Debate Extended - Oh, Really?

Who would have thought?


As the Senate began work on a comprehensive immigration bill, lawmakers from both parties demanded substantial changes in the legislation on Monday and forced Senate leaders to extend debate beyond the Memorial Day recess.

From the moment debate started, the crosscurrents buffeting the bill were evident. The intense lobbying since the bill emerged last week from three months of bipartisan negotiations is likely to be just a sample of what lawmakers will hear as they return home to their districts for the Memorial Day recess.

The bill overcame its first hurdle on Monday, a simple vote to begin debate on the hugely contentious measure.

The decision to extend debate followed four hours of speeches in which supporters and opponents of the bill agreed that the nation had lost control of its borders but disagreed on almost everything else.


Who could have predicted the senators would disagree on almost everything? Who would imagine the immigration bill voting would be delayed?

Hum, I don't know, everybody? Didn't I told you yesterday that Immigration Bill Would Take Way More Than A Week, For Sure?

I'm sorry, this is not really news, but I just had to write about it. :)

Anyway, could somebody be so kind and explain to me where is the logic of allowing 400,000 low-skilled workers to enter the US, for three two-year terms, but requiring them to go home for a year in between?
