Depending on how long it takes the supporters of 1348 to regroup, the next bill to fight might be the Flake-Gutierrez Bill in the House of Representatives. In this bill, illegals are "undocumented inidividuals" and "conditional nonimmigrants" that "need their status adjusted."

There are many online articles about it. Here's one for starters (I'm not familiar with the author; he's an attorney.)

Call It Treason: Flake-Gutierrez Bill Immigration Insanity And Merger With Mexico
By Juan Mann

The latest nation-destroying amnesty scheme of H.R.1645—the Security Through Regularized Immigration and a Vibrant Economy (STRIVE) Act—was introduced in the House of Representatives on March 22 by Treason Lobby mouthpieces Rep. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) and Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL).

But don’t be fooled. This bill is not just about selling-out America to the lowest foreign worker bidder. The end-game of H.R. 1645 is the even more deadly: the sovereignty-eroding Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) plan for regional government.

H.R. 1645 is 697 pages of immigration give-aways including at least seven flavors of amnesties great and small.

Here’s my tally:

Section 401—new worker program;
Section 624—rolling amnesty for children under 16 years old;
Section 643—agricultural workers “blue cardâ€
