Just before the recess began, Reid blocked immigration reform legislation scheduled by Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist. Earlier, the minority leader had torpedoed asbestos litigation reform, also put on the Senate floor by Frist. No minority leader has so dominated the Senate since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1953-54.

Actually, Frist had turned over floor management on both immigration and asbestos litigation to the Judiciary Committee chairman, Sen. Arlen Specter. That makes Specter one for three against Reid, who lost out on the two U.S. Supreme Court confirmations.


IMMIGRATION POLITICS

New national polling data shows, to the surprise of many politicians, that the immigration issue is one of the very rare areas where President Bush is gaining rather than losing strength.

The conventional wisdom has been that Bush's guest worker proposal runs sharply against mainstream Republican opinion and contributes to the president's loss of party support. However, current polls show Republican opinion on the issue is split, as are the Democrats, with a national majority actually backing Bush (while he continues to drop in nearly every other category).

Some Republican members of Congress have reported back from Easter recess to say that their constituents are less outraged by leaky borders than the possible loss of immigrant workers, some from their own households.

No, I don't believe the last paragraph.

Robert Novak is a neo Con who is eating like a small bird eating grain out of a horse. Most of his articles on immigration have had the same bias.

It's laughable.

I don't believe that at all.

I hope Richard is right; because I can't believe the statement either.

This little blurb was in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review on Sunday, I did not post it because Robert Novak is a big fat lier.

Here's a link to another thread addressing this claim that the majority of Americans is behind the guest worker progam, which is nothing short of lies by the propaganda machine.

"New national polling data shows, to the surprise of many politicians, that the immigration issue is one of the very rare areas where President Bush is gaining rather than losing strength. "

Do these people take themselves seriously? What a joke. What a grim joke.

No lie is too great I suppose.
