text: when is the senate going to debate hr 4437?   what is supposed to happen is the senate is to come up with a competing bill.  the attempt to use the border enforcement issue to slip in such an extreme amnesty and throw open our borders was so insane and caused such a huge backlash that the whole issue is waaaaay too hot for the senate to touch.  senators know that to not support a strong enforcement only approach is political suicide but they have a strong financial interest in not supporting such a bill (ie they will lose tons of slush money if they come up with a strong bill like 4437).  they will kill all attempts to even debate the issue.  likely, 4437 will become law by default.
