"I'm getting almost the same gut feeling as yours. The different piece-meal immigration bills introduced the past 1-2 months seems also to be pointing to a possible back-up or insurance just in case there won't be a comprehensive immigration reform done this year.

Not sure, if it's good or bad either, "

I think this is mostly bad. Even immigration supporters are reluctant to consider piece-meal immigration bills. Plus the growing anti-business sentiment is making EB green card measures harder to pass. The ambitious agenda of expansion in EB green-cards has now been reduced to visa recapture alone. I think things will get a lot worse before they get better for employment based green cards.

I believe that CIR will NOT pass during the Senate presidency of Harry Reid. There must be a change in the Senate leadership before CIR can pass.

Harry Reid is a conservative democrat, who gives in to the wishes of some Republicans.
