Do you want to see the provisions the Senate/House Committee refused to add to the must-pass funding bill?

Question

"The measures included one that would increase the number of federal prosecutors assigned to help crack down on smugglers of illegal immigrants.

Another would encourage state and local police to enforce immigration laws more strictly. Advocates promoted this measure as necessary to overcome reluctance that local authorities often have expressed about getting involved in immigration cases lest people be discouraged from reporting crimes."

That means all they let stay in the bill that MUST be approved before they go home is the criminalization of tunnel digging.

And did you see this part:

"On Monday, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) expressed hope that the sweeping rewrite of immigration law envisioned by the Senate and Bush could be accomplished in a "lame duck" session — the window between lawmakers' return to Washington after November's elections and the start of the next Congress in January.

A comprehensive overhaul "is more doable in the lame duck session than it is" now because compromise is more likely after the elections, Gregg said.

Gregg added that Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Pa.), who heads the Senate Judiciary Committee, which has oversight on immigration, was key to blocking the House attempts to push a variety of immigration measures onto the Homeland Security spending bill.

"Sen. Specter has been very specific that he wants to do a comprehensive bill" on immigration, Gregg said. "
