Will We Snatch Defeat from the Jaws of Victory? [Mark Krikorian]

The New York Times, Reuters, Houston Chronicle, and even illegal immigration apologist Rep. Chris Cannon are all acknowledging that stepped-up enforcement is actually helping reduce the flow of illegals. So what's the Senate going to do? Try to crush this first flower of success by starting work on another amnesty bill, perhaps as early as next week.

Yes, why not failure is an option. No actally I can't understand what all the fight is about. I would think the added resourses would be a good thing.

Mark Krikorian is far more optimistic that there will be no amnesty bill passed this year now, the feedback from the public to Congress has been overwhelmingly against amnesty and for securing the border. Even John McCain is distancing himself from his own (and Ted Kennedy's) bill.

This week, even as President Bush was pledging to the Mexican people that he would pursue their interests in working for an immigration bill, the political edifice of such a bill was falling apart.

Ted Kennedy and John McCain announced this week that they were giving up on crafting a new immigration bill and would instead revive the one approved last year by the (Republican) Senate Judiciary Committee (which was different in certain ways from the Hagel-Martinez amnesty finally passed by the Senate). There’s going to be a lot more sound and fury in Congress over immigration, but, as Roll Call writes, “it still appears unlikely that comprehensive reforms will move out of the [Senate] chamber before electoral concerns kill the bill.”

Well, they say fear is a great motivator, voting for this would end many political careers like what happened with the Panama Canal under the Carter administration.
