Immigration Bill deal for who?

The headlines in the Washington Post today was "Immigration Deal Fails In Senate" The question is deal for who? Certainly not the middle class tax payers of the United States who help to subsidize the illegal workforce through higher local taxes for schools and social services. Maybe it was a deal for the Immigration Lawyers who would be defending the illegals as they will be rewarded with citizenship after violating our immigration laws. Maybe it was a deal for the business lobby that wants to have a cheap labor force at the expense of middle class taxpayers and workers. The main provision of this "deal" was the message to the illegal community was that the longer you violated U.S. immigration law the better you are rewarded. That is just an insane policy! Let's hope the Senate finally get that message!
