Was Mass Amnesty Dealt a Blow by Specter's Switch? While Sen. Specter's switch to the Democratic side of the aisle means that Republicans will have a much harder time restraining the excesses of one-party rule, his switch may have a negative effect on the administration's push for mass amnesty. Sen. Specter's support for mass amnesty (he co-sponsered the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act in 2006, which sought to obtain amnesty for longtime illegal immigrants and to increase the number of guest workers) could have had a sizable impact in garnering support from the GOP side and drafting a bipartisan bill. As Dana Goldstein wrote yesterday, the loss of bipartisan support could represent a setback for an amnesty push. Check out the analysis provided by Congress Daily, as well as this article in Forbes.com to see how this switch affects the make up of the U.S. Senate. |
