Debate update so far: Reid speaks, Specter defends bill, Webb proposes his amendment (and says that, ultimately, he wants this bill to succeed), Kennedy and Feinstein go back-and -forth pointing out what they take to be the virtues of this bill and attacking the status quo (asserting both that present "undocumented immigrants" live in fear and a condition of "silent amnesty"). Hutchison
speaks now on her own amendment: the "touchback."
