    A Good Idea From Democrats?

    The House Democrats have come up with a potentially successful idea...somebody call the newspapers! Actually it is in the newspapers. The Washington Times reported today that House Democrats are considering separating the immigration bill in to several parts based on topic.

    "House Democrats say they may break the immigration issue up into a series of smaller bills that would put off the tougher parts and allow others to pass, such as border security, and high-tech and agriculture worker programs that have clear support."

    This always seemed like a simple no brainer. Yet the Senate can't seem to figure out that an immigration bill will not pass if it contains amnesty. (One that doesn't contain a path to citizenship.) The Senate should take a hint and create at least three separate bills: one to fund border security, one to discuss a guest worker program, and one to deal with deal with immigration quotas and the point system. (hopefully the middle bill fails.)
