Reply #8: There is also Boxer's comment in Wisteria's link, that we can do both

I think you might be correct that it is a test leak.

I think that actually passing immigration legislation or even putting out full details of a bill actually is not completely a win. There is enormous emotion on both sides on this issue. You can easily think of the type of amendments that the Republicans will attempt to add. While unemployment is still really high, there will be anger on the parts of lower class and lower middle class whites and blacks, who see immigrants as their competitors to the scarce jobs out there. If it really were a "win" bill, they would have passed it when we had 60 votes.
