Sen. Frist plans on trying to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill by memorial day.

However, strategists on both side don't see this as anything more than more political grandstanding in order to revive the issue for the upcoming elections. They don't see CIR legislation passing this year. As noted in the article, they do see the Republicans trying to slip some of the enforcement-only provisions into the appropriations bill and other "must-pass" legislation.
