Political Insider thinks immigration bill will pass in the U.S. Senate.

I have been on the road a couple of days, and just saw that the AJC's Political Insider on Friday morning noted:

"We’re betting that both Isakson and Chambliss — despite their strong roles in the negotiations — will vote against the bill, and that it will still pass."

Although we know that -- with the number of amendments that may be offered by each party having been agreed upon -- Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority and minority leaders, respectively, have agreed that the immigration bill will come back, I think it is a bit to early to call the outcome.

If certain of the amendments that will be offered are approved, it will pass. If they do not, I think passage is far from certain in the Senate. And regardless, passage in the House will come about only if securing the border is made not only to appear but to be paramount.
