Looks like the next round of battle on immigration has began.
I'm surprised by a few comments:
"Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., splitting with fellow Democrats, again voiced strong opposition to a guest worker plan.
Warning that emotions on immigration "run subliminally, and they run deep," she pointed to Proposition 187 -- which passed with the approval of nearly 60 percent of California voters in 1994 -- to bar undocumented immigrants from all state benefits, including public education. Feinstein said she opposed that measure, later struck down by the courts, and "almost lost my election over it."

She said a guest worker program that would "legalize 11 million in one fell swoop" goes too far. She noted that House leaders have warned that they will not accept a guest worker plan.
"Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., indicated she remains opposed to Bush's guest worker plan because it might attract more illegal migrants."
