Senate Resurrects Immigration Bill

On, June 27, it has been announced that the senate, the White House and Republican and Democratic architects who assembled this bill, is ready to revive this issue against the GOP . Last month, this exact bill was opposed by the House GOP with a 114-23 vote against the senate. The Senate and White House has predicted that by the end of this week, the bill shall be approved.
In there efforts to get this bill passed, the GOP has constantly used stalling tactics to prevent approving this bill. For example, reading the 373 paged package to stall. The result of this issue would not be known until the end of the week, where numerous amounts of debate and voting will take place.
This Bill is to create temporary job opportunities, strengthen border securtities, and to keep illegal immigrants out of the U.S. Bush continues to limit the ammount of illegal immigration present and until the final vote, this bill is not in place.
This bill is not a high priority right now and i believe that Bush and his administration should use the time to do something more constructive such as possibly tending to the war in Iraq, and the situation at hand over there. Although this is an important issue, there are more important issues going on and this can be evaluated in the near future. Illegal immigration to me can never be "fully regulated" because people can attempt to enter the U.S. in numerous ways.
