House passed budget reconciliation bill without the 350,000 new annual green cards and 30,000 H-1B visas for foreign workers ... But we still have to win in the joint negotiating conference

The House passed the bill 217-215. The vote was close because of other issues. But we are grateful that the House Republican leaders ensured that there was no increase in immigration in this version.

Now the House version will go into a Conference Committee negotiation with the Senate version that included Sen. Specter's (R-PA) amazing increase of 350,000.

Sen. Specter's efforts to radically increase the importation of foreign workers has been followed daily in India where one poll shows more than 60 million workers and family are hoping to get a chance to move to the U.S. in the next few years

The current plan of the open-borders champions appears to be this:

(1) Let the House pass a moderately weak bill that deals only with enforcement against illegal immigration.

(2) The Senate passes something similar to the Specter draft.

(3) The joint Conference committee negotiates a compromise that includes some pretty strong enforcement against future illegal immigration. But it will also contain some kind of amnesty for most current illegal aliens. And it will have a massive guestworker program that will bring in probably 400,000 new foreign workers each year as "guests." And it will include some kind of increase in permanent green cards such as the 750,000 sought by McCain/Kennedy or the at least a million sought by Specter.

(4) This monstrosity of a bill passes both the House and Senate because there is so much pressure on Members of Congress to do something deisive about illegal immigration.

And thus the Senate will continue its role as being the Great Perversity Machine of American politics.

I say no way. Make the effort tell them strict enforcement is all you want to see.
