FLAKE hoped for. and that is we will pass a bill with a number of really some very silly and harsh provisions. the Senate will clean those up. turn it into a comprehensive approach. and the people here who have been screaming the word "amnesty" for any effort to solve this problem will now be forced to come back and cast a vote for it. I do not think that is what is going to happen. This bill will probably pass today. and we will never again in this Congress see the immigration issue. And guys will go back to their districts. and they will talk about how they tried to get tough on the border and they tried to do something. This is not a border enforcement bill. There is a case that we could try to do some things on the border to be more effective than we have been. When this bill tries to deal with employer verification in the context to our 11 million people in this country who are working without documents or without work status. we know it can never go into effect.
