Democrats pledge to move toward 2010 vote on immigration reform
By Alexander Bolton - 04/29/10 07:56 PM ET

Senate Democratic leaders said Thursday they are serious about having a vote on immigration this year.

Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and other Democrats made that pledge as they unveiled their outline of an immigration reform plan, which has been widely viewed as a political exercise to help Reid and other Democrats with Hispanic voters, a growing electoral bloc.

Democratic strategists say the issue is not a clear winner like the Wall Street reform bill; Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.), the plan’s primary author, acknowledged that dealing with an estimated 10.8 million illegal residents is “morally complexâ€

This will be a bad bill and Harry Reid is pathetic.

Even if they cannot force it through, this will help them save face with LaRaza and the dreamies.

What Traitors!
