The House of Representatives is called "The People's House." A name it picked up before the 17th Amendment when Representatives were elected and Senators were appointed by the states.

Well the people of America have made themselves fairly clear that they want serious policy on border security and serious enforcement of immigration laws. The Senate has seen fit to ignore public sentiment and has passed their version of "Comprehensive Immigration Reform." AKA Amnesty 2006.

Now comes the Conference. Members of the Senate and House get together and try to negotiate a compromise between two strikingly different bills. Will the house hold the line on border security and tough enforcement? Or will they fold like cheep empty suits in the face of the World's Greatest Deliberative Body?
