When I first heard about the plan on Friday. May 4. 1 stated that the Democratic leadership in the Senate acts as if this is just another piece of everyday legislation. but it is not. The immigration bill is one of the most important bills to come through the Senate in the decade I have been here. Staff drafting of the bill was not finished until Saturday morning. and legislative counsel has not yet converted the bill into the proper format. Even today. we have no assurances that the product they produced that had across the top of it "Draft: For Discussion Purposes Only." are the final agreements in the bill and will be the document actually introduced. presumably tonight.
