As if climate change, highway funding and health care reform were not enough fuel for the fires of Congressional debate this session, this morning President Obama unveiled the outline of his immigration law reform proposals. In a speech at the annual Esperanza prayer breakfast, Obama said, "We must ... clarify the status of millions who are here illegally, many who have put down roots ..." by requiring the illegals to pay a fine, pay all unpaid U. S. taxes for the time they have been here, learn to read and speak English, and go to the back of the line of those wading through the citizenship process.
Look for a bill this session, but probably not before the end of the fiscal year.
