We realize that this important immigration packet is presented to the Congress as part of the Omnibus Reconciliation bill which contains numerous volitile political issues other than immigration issues. We hope that the political leaders in the House and the Senate, and for that matter, the President quickly work out concensus for other politically vulnerable issues quickly and enact this bill into a law as quickly as possible. The impact of other politically vulnerable issues was evident from the record of votes of the Senators who passed the immigration bill in the Judiciary Committee in absolute majority but who passed the entire packet of S. 1932 in the dangerously slim margin. A number of the members of the Senate Judiciary Committee voted in favor of the immigration packet in the Judiciary Committee but voted "nays" to S.1932 which contained the immigration bill in the full Senate because of the other politically vulnerable items in the bill. We urge the Congress and the President to work out the differences without too much pains and swiftly pass this bill into law within the next two weeks.

So guys...either ways..we'll get to know in next 2 weeks...one good thing in US is that even though its a very complicated process to pass or reject a bill....the decision is made pretty quickly...Just imagine a similar process in country like India...It would have taken years...if not a decade..
