I think the Congress is trying to slither some amnesty through with bogus lies. If you look at the existing immigration legislation, which is wierd beyond belief, it is as a result of BOTH PARTIES being in the pocket of the big business lobby... and trying to sneak in some very unpopular legislation on the voters, which is amnesty and guest workers. Voters don't want guest workers or amnesty and have made this clear consistently. Even when Bush was riding high in the polls he couldn't get amnesty through. Last year h1B legislation which is tech guest workers made it through congress, but the house stalled it, because the house is much more concerned about reelection than is congress. Then Bill gates went to washington to lobby for it (after being surprised, I am certain, that the tech lobby holds so little clout these days). I am skeptical that even Bill Gates can do anything about pushing this type of legislation through. Just pulling up congress.org and reading "letters" is an exercise in the futility of this immigration legislation. Congress lets this pass, and they get the boot, its just that simple it seems to me.
