CIR bill is dead

It's not official but as I had feared the comprehensive immigration reform (CIR) bill is dead and buried as the House has not yet come up with the list of members for the conference committee let alone a decision on the bill itself. This is another side of politics where with elections for the House seats in November there is not enough political will power to pass a controversial bill. No politician wants to get caught on the wrong side during election time. So they will let the bill die as the summer session comes to an end and experts believe the bill may come up again late this year or early next year once the elections are through. Meanwhile all the legal immigrants waiting for green cards can enjoy the rest of the summer and continue waiting.
