Illegal Immigration 13: Victory!!! (at least for now)

The shamnesty bill has been shelved, at least for the time being. YES!!!

The theories explaining exactly why it failed are as numerous as the people writing them. I think the simplest answer is the best: too many Americans opposed it. A new Rasmussen poll illustrates the wide cross-section of people that didn't like it - basically, everyone. The only real mystery is how a large chunk of the Senate (Republicans and Democrats alike), as well as the White House, completely missed that fact.

Regardless, maybe someone will put forth a more reasonable immigration bill; very few people would oppose something that actually addressed the problem in a reasonable and just way. Hopefully someone will do that soon, but we'll just have to wait and see. Anyway, kudos to all those who made their voices known - see, it works! And, of course, kudos to those Senators who opposed this shamnesty bill - thank you for representing us well!

Now I'm going to have to find another topic to blog about. :)

There's my two cents.
