On June 15th, the bipartisan group of Senate “grand bargainers” announced they had reached a procedural agreement to revive the comprehensive immigration reform bill and return it to the Senate Floor for a final round of debate. It is expected to be brought back to the Floor the last week of June with the hope to put the legislation to a vote on final passage before the Independence Day recess, which begins on July 1. Quite a turnaround!
The "deal" purportedly hinges upon agreement on a list of amendments to be considered before the vote on final passage of the bill and reports are that each party will be limited to 10-12 amendments. This is a but a small fraction of the hundreds of amendments that had been proposed.
If one of the eventual requirements is proving sufficient English language capability, esteemed Linguistics Professor Arnold Schwarzenegger says that foreign nationals should not watch Spanish TV. He, of course, said this in German.
