Mr. and Mrs. America. we cant do. We are not going to be able to make immigration come out exactly like you would want it or exactly like I would want it. We are going to have to reach a compromise. but we understand we have a commitment to you. and that commitment is to create a system that will work in the future. But I am worried about it because from what I am hearing. the system seems to be moving in a way that is going to create an opportunity to vote on a completely unseen immigration billnobody has read it except a little groupand move it through this Senate. Now. remember. the bill that passed last year was a bad piece of legislation. but it did pass this Senate. People thought it would die in the House. and sure enough. it did die in the House and it was never considered. They wouldnt even look at it. But I am not sure that is going to happen this time. So we may have this plan in the works. and it will work something akin to this: Well. we spend 2 or 3 days talking about immigration. burning time and filibustering. filing cloture on a motion to proceed. and we get on the bill for a day or two and then all of a sudden a new bill comes on and in a day or two. it is passed. Hardly anybody knows what is in it or has had a chance to read it. Then it goes to the House of Representatives. where the Democratic majority now has a 15 seat. 16 seat or so majority over there. some of the Republicans would clearly be in favor of whatever passed out of the Senate.
