It wasn't serious as everyone knew it had zero chance of passing the other chamber or being signed into law. If it was serious, the Senate would not have left town. It wasn't even a basis of reconciliation or negotiation. Negotiation 101: if you can't put an offer on the table that can not be the basis of a deal, its not serious offer.
yes it was a serious offer. Reid has no intention nor does obama of passing anything short of giving these people amnesty and that isn't going to happen. so evidently they are not serious in passing any meaningful legislation.
the house bill had everything in it that was needed.
if reid was serious about the issue he would conviene a emergancy session of the senate and vote on the bill or put the bill up for debate with amendments.
