June 4th, 2007.
Univison reports that 14 amendements might break the bipartisan support of the senate immigration bill. Two of them were mentioned. One sponsored by Sen. Cornyn of Texas, that will bar any illegal who entered illegaly or who used or is using fake documents, from receiving a Z visa. (That will leave only those illegals who overstayed their visas and did not use fake documents).
The other bill mentioned is one sponsored by Sen. Menendez of New Jersey. His bill would change the deadline of those who want to petition to bring in their parents and siblings from Jan. 2005 to Jan. 2007. The importance of this amnendement is that Sen. Kyl has said on the record, that if the Menendez bill passes, he will pull out his support of the entire senate bill. If Kyl pulls out, other Republican senators will pull out as well due to Kyl's leadership in the Republican senate. In short, the Menendez bil is the poison pill amendement that we are all hoping for.
