Amnesty Debate Next Week?

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved the Iraq supplemental spending bill Wednesday without the security provisions (including national standards for state driver’s licenses) that are in the House version of the bill. Sen. Larry Craig has pledged to try to add his huge amnesty for illegal-alien farmworkers when the spending measure reaches the Senate floor next week. Which raises the possibility that the Army’s humvees will run out of gas while the World’s Greatest Deliberative Body decides whether to legalize perhaps 1 million border-jumpers and up to 2 million family members. Whether the amnesty is a good idea or not (guess what I think), this is no way to legislate.
