The immigration bill seems remarkably conservative given the position the Dems were in just a couple years ago. If Trump gets elected to office, the chance of them voting for a near identical bill drops precipitously imo.

Personally, I don't know how I feel about it. Some bits of it I support, but a lot of other bits seem to go too far. Given the scope of the problem, I don't believe this is the solution, but I can't say for sure whether or not it is better than nothing.

Maybe that is the point.  Make this bill the love letter the GOP has always talked about they wanted but never actually did anything to do it so that when it times to campaign and they nix it, its something the Dems and Biden can use to show that the GOP is all talk but really no action.

Yeah, politically, I can only really see this as a good move for the Dems. Shows that the Republicans are all talk and a dysfunctional mess. 

But I won't be crying when this bill goes to the graveyard.
