NEW YORK (CNN) -- This new Congress was supposed to be different. Instead, it is being led by a gaggle of partisan hacks pandering to the same special interests and corporate masters as the previous Republican-led Congress.
So-called comprehensive immigration reform legislation is about to take a privileged position on the Democratic agenda in the Senate. It will likely succeed, just as it did in that august chamber last year, when 38 Democratic senators sided with the president to pass the bill and tried to slam amnesty down the throats of the House of Representatives and their 300 million constituents.
And the now Democratic-controlled House is likely to embrace rather than combat the lunacy of amnesty.

Somewhere in the world, there is a 3-year-old girl named Maya who will grow up without a father.
For this, I blame Sen. Jon Kyl and Rep. Ed Pastor and all our so-called leaders in Congress who have steadfastly refused to fix that standing joke we call federal immigration law.
Maya’s father, Micheal Boulden, was chief of staff for the ASU Foundation until last month, when he died while on a Sunday morning bike ride. Meanwhile, Robert Chris Miller was killed early Sunday when a drunken-driving suspect ran a red light in Peoria. He was just 20 years old.
For this, I blame President Bush and Gov. Janet Napolitano and governors who steadfastly refuse to allow the National Guard at the border to actually guard the border.
These people have blood on their hands. The blood of Jason Okon, an Iraq war veteran who, police say, was stabbed on Feb. 2 by an undocumented immigrant living in his neighborhood. The blood of Laurie Lynn Lorenzen, a Gilbert mother who, police say, was killed Feb. 2 by an undocumented immigrant who ran a red light while fleeing police. And now, the blood of Micheal Boulden and Robert Miller...
