Immigration Bill "a Cave In"

This according to Newt Gingrich. Seems like its going to fail anyway, and what did you expect with Ted Kennedy sponsoring it:

Gingrich, prior to Friday's test vote in the Senate, called the immigration proposal a "cave-in" that would establish amnesty for lawbreakers.
The proposal failed the test vote and has been sidetracked until Congress returns from a two-week recess.
"It is very important for America to control its borders for national security reasons," Gingrich said. "It is also important for America to continue to develop a system to encourage patriotic legal immigration whereby immigrants are on the path to becoming American citizens by being effectively integrated and assimilated into American society."

Congress' atitude lately is, even a bad bill is better than nothing! Where's Delay when you need him?
