RE:'The action followed a series of amendments that upset a delicately balanced compromise hammered out by a bipartisan group of senators and the White House.'

This is extraordinarily dishonest reporting. This 'bipartisan group' met in secret outside the operating rules of the Senate and then did their best to jam their vision of what is 'fair' down the throats of their colleagues and the American people. It is horrible legislation spawned by a gross violation of the rules governing our government. Ted Kennedy and John McCain deserve to have copies this 600+ page monstrosity rolled up into cylinders and one each shoved up their anuses--with Vicks Vapor Rub as a lubricant.

In truth, it is their being pigheaded about the 'Z' visa that is the crux of the problem. As written, the bill would cause an enormous flood of additional illegal immigrants to cross the border, hurrying to get a 'Z' visa before adequate border enforcement is implemented. Relatively few of these folks are here to become citizens. They could care less about becoming US citizens. All they want to do is to earn enough money to support their families in Mexico.

I feel sorry for them. I don't have a problem with them coming here to work, but I DO have a problem with what is happening to American citizens and American wages because of them. It is time to for MEXICAN POLITICIANS to clean up their act so that Mexicans can make a living in MEXICO! It is time to break this lock that American businesses have gotten around the head of American Labor because they can stand on the backs of miserable and impoverished Mexicans.

In all these debates about the illegal US labor force, never heard mentioned the fact that most of these people use false social security numbers used by employers who are actually paying into the system. That isnt a small piece of change, and it is currently being absorbed into the fund and ultimately benifiting the retired legal workers.

It does NOT work and it MUST be fixed. Unfortunately, this is not the fix the system needs. As written this bill will make matters worse, not better.

What irks me about is that Ted Kennedy et all know all to well how to fix it, but they LIKE the status quo and want to fix things so that the labor picture in the US will actually get worse.
