So Gordon Smith is going to transcribe the King bill (forcing employers to match names with SS #'s --a great idea, by the way and doing it at Lars' request) and introduce it in the Senate in the debate over Senate Bill 1639 (new bill # because 1348 is just soooooo last week).
So how will this be achieved? This emailer is dubious and might just have this right to wit: Gordon might be doing to placate us and in reality is just sticking his head in the sand:

"Clay Pigeon" is a Senate procedure and here is how it works.
Gordon is looking for a way to justify voting for the immigration bill by
suggesting that he will propose this amendment supported by Lars.
This is a red herring, because the first vote on the floor will be for
"cloture" and all amendments previously approved by a committee of traitors
will not be allowed on the floor until the cloture vote is taken.
After that point only a majority of votes (instead of a two-thirds majority)
are necessary to pass any amendment and for that matter the entire bill.
Gordon Smith skates by voting for cloture to allow for his amendment. Then
his amendment is voted down and Gordon loses, but in reality he wins.

Smith's version of the bill proposed some time ago by Mr. King from Iowa sounds and looks good, so far. But when it gets to it's frist reading on the floor of the Senate, it will be knocked down by the likes of Harry Reid, Teddy Kennedrunk, John Kyl, John McCain, Chucky Schumer, etc. Why? Because they want all the illegals they can get into this country to eventually be able to vote Democratic. And anythng proposed by a Republican, even a RINO like Smith, will automatically be rejected out of hand because it came from a Republican.
And, if by some outside chance, it gets passed by the Senate, then it will go to the House where there is the likes of Pelosi, Murtha, et al. This bill will never get to the President's desk for his likely veto.
Business as usual by the Dumocrats and the RINOs.
I hope Sen.Smith has included Regulations and Penalties on Sanctuary Cities and to some extent on the Sanctuary Movement. I wonder if Descendants of the Sanctuary movement helped to hide Japanese War criminals during WWII here on the Mainland of the USA??
