It isn't just us they are fighting. They are also trying to out maneuver each other. The republicans don't want the Dems to get the political upper hand from any amnesty, and vice-verse. Their are many competing interests vying for a benefit, but without giving their competition the same edge. Plus there are many unions of technical and vocational aspects pressuring congress not to sell out the voters that have the jobs now, but are already finding the market under fire from visa holders. We could go on and on here, but we are hardly alone. A blanket amnesty is not going to make everyone happy except us. Farmers, for example, realize that amnesty allows the workers to move on to other jobs. They squawk like hell about needing workers and how comprehensive approaches will work best and all, but in the end they want workers, cheap and under their thumb. Amnesty won't give them that
