Still life for for immigration reform

It isn't dead yet, but there are not a lot of tangible reasons to believe the Senate can pull together and pass comprehensive immigration reform this year.

Talking to Sharon Hughes of NCAE this morning, she said Senate backer of immigration legislation are committed to passing a bill. Too much has been invested to walk away. With Harry Reid taking the bill off the immediate agenda last night, it may be tough to regroup.

Congress risks deepening the cynicism and eventual despair of the public and all industry if it cannot deal with this most important of issues.
