I predicted that nothing would come out of the current immigration reform numerous times (personally because I don’t think Congress really gives a damn) and Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, officially withdrew the so-called compromise bill from the Senate floor. Part of the reason for the failure (besides a lack of real will) was the debate over some 40 amendments including one Democratic proposal to limit a guest-worker program sought by business interests and backed by Republicans. The bill could come back up sometime this year (but I bet it won’t until we get closer to presidential election day).
