3/28 So the House passed an immigration bill which uses the stick approach.
The Senate (subcommittee) passed a very different bill which is almost
the opposite of the House bill. Assuming the full Senate passes their
version as-is, how do they go about resolving the differences? I know
the general idea and I can see how they can split the difference on
spending bills and such but what has happened in the past on bills
like this where spending and taxes aren't the primary issue?
\_ Bill Frist will not allow the senate version on the schedule, and
will try and force through the house version with minor alterations.
Barring that, they may just say "Yeah, they're the same" and pass
them on to the President to sign, ala the AEI link below... |
