Political Factoid
"The legislation supported
by all Senate Democrats
and 14 [rational] Republicans
would require immigrants
illegally living in the
country to
- register with
the government,
- pay a penalty,
- learn English and
- begin the process of applying
for legal status.
"It also had the backing of
the business community,
organized labor and
religious organizations."
But then there were the House
Republicans!*
