"Left for dead a week ago, legislation to strengthen border security while bestowing legal status on millions of illegal immigrants is showing signs of life.
Senate leaders announced plans Thursday night to revive the White House-backed measure as early as next week, although neither Majority Leader Harry Reid nor his GOP counterpart, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, issued any predictions the bill ultimately would pass.
"We met this evening with several of the senators involved in the immigration bill negotiations. Based on that discussion, the immigration bill will return to the Senate floor."
On Tuesday, the president made a rare visit to the Capitol to ask Republican senators to give the bill a second chance."
When was the last time so many citizens opposed a bill that was pushed so hard by "bipartisan" interests.
What's this really all about?
