While the bill didn’t pass, it is likely that failure to pass the bill will actually also lead to major changes in how America deals with illegal immigration.

I'm so glad it was defeated! Too bad the President was on the wrong side of this bill. But it's not surprising considering he's been for loosening the borders for a while now. Immigration is what started my bitterness against this administration.
I'm from AZ and unfortunately McCain is my Senator -though I didn't vote for him and will never vote for him. A local radio show here said this morning that McCain was speaking on the Senate floor yesterday and said there would be violence in the streets if the bill wasn't passed.
I haven't verified it, but I wouldn't be surprised if he did say that. McCain, the President and others have done everything and said everything to try to force this amnesty bill down our throats. Thankfully it didn't work.
And about the violence in the streets . . . it's a hot, sunny day here in the big PHX, and as of yet I don't see any violence. Too hot!
