300th Post...Immigration

I hope you have liked the website. Immigration is going to the be marking the 300th post. Not skipping a beat, the house has introduced an immigration bill that will surely set off an ugly fight in congress. This probably won't be taken up until next year, but it is the initial volley of what is to be a telling fight.

Representative Luis V. Gutierrez, Democrat of Illinois introduced his bill saying that "Here, this is what we want; our proposal is out of the box,"

What does it have in it. "a path to legal status for millions of illegal immigrants." This will definitely anger repubs.

After dems pass health care and the economy starts moving upwards, this will definitely help the dems in the long run. The crazies on the right will come out of the woodwork like 3 years ago, and remind the entire country of the kind people in the repub party. This will hopefully drive independents towards the dems. The biggest obstacle for dems in the 2010 election is turnout. The right is energized, the left...not so much.
