Not to change the subject (it's my thread so, I'll take some liberty here ;-) ) but Ann Coulter is making exactly this point over the past few weeks in regard to resolving the illegal immigration problem. Her warning?

After a meeting with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday, a frustrated Feinstein said she learned that the bill she sponsored — which bans 157 different models of assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines — wouldn’t be part of a Democratic gun bill to be offered on the Senate floor. Instead, it can be offered as an amendment. But its exclusion from the package makes what was already an uphill battle an almost certain defeat.
