    Okay, FWIW:

    I talked with a staffer in Sen. Corker's office this morning and asked him about the so-called "touchback" provision that Corker is allegedly co-sponsoring with Alexander. The staffer said that there was some talk a few weeks ago about possible ways to make this bill more acceptable, and the return home "touchback" provision was one of the considerations. He said the media seems to have interpreted this as Corker being amenable to supporting a bill that includes such a provision. He was adamant that Corker doesn't support the bill---that he sees many problems with it---and can't imagine a scenario in which he would vote for it.

    I could tell that this office has gotten hammered quite a bit. When I introduced myself and said what I was calling about, the staffer immediately went on the defensive. They've obviously been paying attention, also, to media reports of Corker perhaps leaning toward supporting the bill. I would suggest that a few of you call so we can compare responses.

    Thank You for calling Saki. My question again is why is Senator Corker linking with Hutchinson and Senator Alexander to pass an amendment that will push the bill forward.

    Alexander and Corker co-sponsor provision to toughen application requirement

    By JULIE HIRSCHFELD DAVIS
    Associated Press Writer

    WASHINGTON (AP) -- Two Tennessee Republicans are co-sponsors of a compromise that could help keep an immigration reform bill alive.

    Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker have co-sponsored a provision crafted by Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, to toughen a requir ement that unlawful immigrants seeking green cards return home to apply for permanent legal residency.

    Senate leaders' announcement Thursday that they would allow the immigration bill a second chance came after getting assurances from key negotiators that they could produce enough support to steer the measure through a procedural minefield, including attempts by conservatives to block it.

    Just spoke to the Washington Office of Senator Bob Corker (TN) and yes, this amendment is designed to draw more senators to the bill. So, there you go, they (Senator Corker and Senator Alexander TN) are trying to push the bill forward.
