Is immigration reform back?

Hoping to jump-start a major legislative drive on immigration reform in the U.S. Congress, more than 100 pro-reform House Democrats signed a letter reminding President Obama of his administration's commitment to overhaul immigration.

The letter was clearly meant to nudge the White House toward engaging an issue it has allowed to languish.

The letter expressed House Democrats' “commitment to fix our broken immigration systemâ€

"The room for doing this is very tight," Gutierrez said earlier this month on the Spanish-language Univision network's political talk program, "Al Punto." "We have to do it in February or early March of next year."

Why is the window very tight? What will happen in late March and early April next year, and I fear it coming from Gutierrez's lips, whatever happens, will be very worrisome. Spanish as the only official language of the country, perhaps?

the 3 main things that will cause the crap to hit the fan are CIR, and attempts to alter Free Speach or the 2nd Amendment

mark my words... there are others as well... but these 3 are the sparks that get it all started
