According to one senate staffer, McConnell and Reid are going to resubmit this abominable bill next week just as Sen. Sessions is with Bush () at an Alabama fundraiser. The full entry is here:

You can't say I didn't warn you. The immigration bill is coming back, probably as early as next week. That's what Senators Harry Reid (D.-Nev.) and Mitch McConnell (R.-Ky.) agreed to today, leaving conservatives on Capitol Hill disappointed and alarmed.

A conservative Senate GOP aide told me McConnell caved under pressure from the White House and Democrats. "They are going to roll over conservatives. They scheduled debate time and a vote for next week knowing full well that Jeff Sessions would be out of town."

Sessions, a vocal opponent, will be in Alabama for a fundraiser with President Bush next Thursday. Sessions teamed with Senators Jim DeMint (R.-S.C.) and David Vitter (R.-La.) last week to take a principled stand against the bill despite tremendous pressure from its supporters. Sessions' absence would put conservatives at a significant disadvantage.

My source said the fact that McConnell would agree to such an arrangement means that he's willing to disregard the interests of his own caucus to appease Sen. Teddy Kennedy (D.-Mass.) and other amnesty supporters. It also suggests the bill's supporters will do almost anything to ram it through even though just 20% of Americans want it.
Please tell Sen. Sessions to stay in Washington next week so that he can help fight this travesty!
