Dave Montgomery of McClatchy Newspapers offers a biased overview of immigration "reform"'s chance now that the Democrats are in charge. He specifically focuses on Zoe Lofgren:

As an immigration lawyer in Northern California, Zoe Lofgren helped struggling immigrant farmworkers keep their families together and stay in the United States... With her liberal credentials and pro-immigrant views, Lofgren embodies what many believe is a new day in the immigration debate as Congress, now under Democratic control, again confronts one of the nation's most contentious issues...

It truly is morning in America, except for those Republicans who belong to the "anti-immigration coalition" and those "anti-immigration forces in the House". On the other hand are the "moderate Republicans" (such as Jeff Flake of Arizona) who support "reform". The former support what the vast majority of Americans want. The latter are actually corrupt extremists who would vastly increase legal immigration and continue to allow massive illegal immigration.

Later on we're informed that the guest worker provisions of Bush's plan (and here we thought he only had guidelines) would bring in "thousands of foreign workers each year". At the end of the article, we're informed that McCain-Kennedy would involve "as many as 400,000 foreign workers". Thousands, hundreds of thousands, what's the difference?
