See the predictions about skil bill or other bills from immigration-law.com. I dont see any hope regarding the immigration bill.
The full House and the full Senate remain in the Summer break and are not scheduled to return to the Hill until September 5, 2006. There will be no legislative bills to pass Congress during the period. However, some Committees and Subcommittees assignments are in full swing, particularly the border security hearings in various locations. In September, the House and Senate floors will have very tight schedules with a limited agenda before they will go out of session again in October for the election campaign in the local communities.
Because of the Congressional schedules and the hopeless divided GOP on the immigration issues, there is a slim chance that any immigration bill will pass the Congress before the midterm national election in November 2006. There was a report that the Bush White House had informally admitted that no comprehensive immigration reform bill would be enacted before the election.
Immigrant community may as well sit back and relax and learn to leave, for a whle, with whatever they see in the current law books.
