Hope for CIR?

An interesting article from Politico detailing the power struggle between Sen. Chuck Schumer and Sen. John Kerry over whose pet project should get to the Senate floor after the Health Care bill.

Schumer is quietly spreading the word within the immigration community that he has the White House’s support to pass a bill by April.


Now that the Dems are in danger of losing their 60th vote, they're rushing the Health Care bill to avoid a possible Scott Brown victory jeopardizing it. If Brown wins and gives the Republicans filibuster power, immigration reform would no doubt face a major obstacle.
