Apparently the text of this S.1348 that Thomas and GPO Access just put up on Friday/Saturday is NOT the “Compromise” deal that they are actually looking at. At NRO and Heritage yesterday, they posted a shorter (326 page) document. Much of the text is the same—but much is not or addressing in the Senate tomorrow. For example, this S.1348 does not have the famous “Z Visa” included. You can’t tell whether the compromise “draft” is a complete or partial document so these traitors don’t even want people to know what they are supposedly agreeing to!

The Senate’s Comprehensive Immigration Reform Package
by The Heritage Foundation
FYI

Working behind closed doors for months, a handful of Democratic and Republican staffers, along with a few senators and principals from the Administration, have been drafting a “comprehensive immigration reform package.” Until Saturday morning, the legislation was unavailable to any other senators or staff, let alone the media, policy analysts, or the general public.

This legislation would be the most significant reform of immigration policy in 40 years, affecting not only our national security and homeland defense but the fiscal, economic, and social future of the United States for several generations.

For the sake of open deliberation and public education, The Heritage Foundation is making this legislation, in draft form, publicly available to encourage widespread debate and discussion.

The document made available here, although marked “DRAFT – FOR DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY,” is being relied upon by senators and staff as the final language to be debated beginning on Monday, May 21, with the expectation of a vote on final passage—without congressional hearings, committee mark-up, fiscal analysis, expert testimony, or public comment—before the end of the week.
