    In Increments, Senate Revisits Immigrant Bill

    In Increments, Senate Revisits Immigrant Bill
    By JULIA PRESTON
    WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 — When a broad immigration bill failed in the Senate in June after a vitriolic national debate, many legislators said the issue was dead, perhaps until President Bush left office. But already some of the less contentious pieces of the bill are returning to life.

    Last week, the Senate approved $3 billion for border security as part of a Homeland Security Department spending bill. Democrats and Republicans have also begun laying ground for a bill to create a new temporary immigrant worker program for agriculture.

    Another bill, also with bipartisan support, would give a path to citizenship to high school graduates who are illegal immigrants if they complete two years of college or military service. Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois and a sponsor of the bill, attached it as an amendment to the military authorization legislation that the Senate last month put off until September. Mr. Durbin said he would seek to move it again then.

    The agriculture and student measures “have a decent chance of passing this Congress because they have strong champions, broad bipartisan support and they have been around for a long time,â€

    Support has also re-emerged for the agricultural bill as labor shortages have hampered harvests this summer in states like California, Michigan and North Carolina.
    So where is America's innovation? Why have we become a nation of whinners because we can't have our way. Certainly our president has made this the norm in accepted behavior! In the last century America was hailed the world over as the master of innovation. Where has that ability gone? Seems as though we have become a nation of spoiled brats that when things don't go right, instead of trying a different way or being imaginative we stomp our feet and cry foul! I urge the people of this once great nation to put aside their greedy agendas and rise above the smoke screen. Where there is a will, there is a way!
    Never give up! Never surrender! Never compromise your values!*
