"The 2006 midterm elections were widely seen as a debacle for those members of Congress who campaigned against illegal immigration aiming to win the national debate on this issue and preserve Republican majorities on Capitol Hill. Instead, prospects for the sort of immigration reform favored by the President and a bipartisan coalition in the Senate are believed to have notably improved, as the leadership of both houses and all legislative committees changes hands for the 110th Congress. Mixed messages sent by candidates and leaders in both parties, however, call into question any notion that the election produced a mandate for a particular immigration policy solution."
