Amnesty Supporters Ready to Press On, Despite Lowered Expectations


The Washington Post says, "As President Obama vows to refocus Democrats' attention on jobs and the economy, advocates for overhauling the nation's immigration laws say they are still gearing up for a battle in the Senate in coming weeks, despite fading hopes for victory." With expected Republican victories in coming elections, Democrats are focused less on immigration and more on voter discontent, the Post reports. "[Amnesty] backers say they will have to thread a needle to move a bill to the Senate floor by a springtime deadline, after which they fear midterm election politics will take hold."

See Albor Ruiz's column for an example of an amnesty supporter's take on Obama's State of the Union. "It is almost incomprehensible - and frankly a little absurd - that after Obama's address to Congress and the nation that some pro-immigration-reform groups continue to delude themselves and feed immigrants the Pablum of false hope."
