But here come the clouds - two big ones, so gray and heavy with water they threaten to explode into a huge downpour any minute now.
From the realm of the usual suspects return NumbersUSA, FAIR, ALIPAC, Michelle Malkin and all the immigration party animals ready to start swinging at their favorite piñata. Fresh from a grassroots effort that prevented from passing a bill to give undocumented immigrants the right get a driver's license in Maine, NumbersUSA is undoubtedly gearing up for the next match. These groups are so strong, so well organized, that they're credited with derailing efforts to overhaul the nation's immigration system twice already - in 2006 and 2007.
The second, a new arrival in this already controversial party, has the potential to cause more harm. And unfortunately, it's a just, fair, and much needed amendment to our immigration laws. It's called the Uniting Americans Family Act, a bill that would allow U.S. citizens or legal residents to sponsor their same-sex partners to immigrate to this country. According to ImmigrationEquality.org, there are nearly 36,000 binational same-sex couples that could benefit from this type of legislation.
