Senate has more sense than House on Immigration

I guess the Senate has more sense than the house when it comes to immigration. HR 4437 or the Senselessbrenner-King bill passed out of the House would basically make everyone a felon who helps an illegal immigrant, including churches (hospitols and school too maybe). This bill sparked some very large protests over the weekend, including 500,000 people in LA, 10,000 in Phoenix, and 30,000 in Milwaukee.

Well, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed an ammendment taking these in humane provision out.

The Senate Judiciary Committee adopted an amendment by Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., that would protect church and charitable groups, as well as individuals, from criminal prosecution for providing food, shelter, medical care and counseling to undocumented immigrants.

This is a step in the right direction over a tough issue. You will surely be hearing more about this issue in the coming months.
