The battle to pass the senate’s amnesty-again bill will be a long one. Please do not depend on the MSM for all of your information. That goes double for the slanted AJC editors.

Amazingly, this in the Washington Post:

What You Don’t Know About the Immigration Bill

By Robert J. Samuelson
Wednesday, May 31, 2006; Page A19

The Senate passed legislation last week that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) hailed as “the most far-reaching immigration reform in our history.” You might think that the first question anyone would ask is how much it would actually increase or decrease legal immigration. But no. After the Senate approved the bill by 62 to 36, you could not find the answer in the news columns of The Post, the New York Times or the Wall Street Journal. Yet the estimates do exist and are fairly startling. By rough projections, the Senate bill would double the legal immigration that would occur during the next two decades from about 20 million (under present law) to about 40 million.

Samuelson goes on, I hope that you will take the time to read the entire article.
