As we watch lawmakers in Washington struggle once again to deal with immigration reform, it’s hard to know whether to be optimistic or suspicious.

On one hand, it looks like an encouraging sign that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who has been a serious impediment to getting something done in the past because he caters to organized labor, which opposes major elements of reform, told an immigration rally in Las Vegas last weekend that the Senate would tackle the sensitive issue as early as this week.

“We’re going to have comprehensive immigration reform now,â€

This author is sadly misguided. If he really believes Reid and Durbin and the rest of the losers on capitol hill won't screw them over, he's mistaken. They don't give a *hit about illegal aliens. And, the only thing broken about the immigration system is the bus to take them back.
