Rejecting Rep. Zoe Lofgren's
motion to refer the bill to the House Judiciary, the House floor
passed this bill. Surprisingly, some Democrats joined the Republicans
in passing this bill. However, the chance for this bill in the
Democratic Senate is grim. Besides, should this bill pass both
Houses, the President may veto this bill.
It could have been interesting
if the Senate would have passed it with amendment deleting the
part eliminating diversity immigration lottery program and toss
it back to the House. However, even this hypothetical scenario after
will not work since the Lame Duck Congress will shut down after
December 14, 2012 and this Congress will sunset at the end of
the year with the death of tons of unresolved pending bills.
