I wrote Senator Diane Feinstein the very day that S 1639 failed to get the votes needed to continue. I asked her if she would consider enforcing existing law. I got her reply today and in her letter she stated, plain as day,


Dear Mr. Ross

Thank you for writing to me about the immigration reform debate that has been taking place during the 110th Congress.

The current immigration system is not working-our borders are broken, our national security is compromised, and there is no feasible way to identify and deal with the 10 to 12 million undocumented people now living in the United States. I understand there were mixed reactions to the bipartisan bill that the Senate considered and that there are very strong feelings about this issue. I believe that while that bill was not perfect, it was a reasonable compromise.

Unfortunately, the comprehensive immigration reform bill has stalled in the Senate. Therefore, I believe the next step must be to pass the individual priorities contained within the larger bill, starting with the "Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits and Security Act of "2007"

So there it is, the Senate is going to try and slip a fast on by us by passing the failed immigration bill by bits and pieces.

Diane Feinstein just got one stubborn fellow angry, and this fellow is going to do everything he can to make sure she doesn't get re-elected.
