You are correct, all valiant efforts that succeeded. Jeff Sessions needs to be added to that list, he fought valiantly with facts and hard data. Unlike the other side with worn out rhetoric and false emotions.

I am glad to see some in Congress standing for what is right. Even some Dems. It doesn't happen often.

Many senators offed valuable amendments, which shows the true way the bill should have headed. Vitter - no AMNESTY. Cornyn - no Felons & full disclosure & permanent bar on criminals and terrorists. Sessions - protecting tax dollars & no entitlements. Coubrun - enforce existing statutes & complete building fence/wall. Dorgen - sunset provisions. Inhofe - English please. DeMint - mandatory health coverage. McConnell - photo ID to vote. And other amendments that didn't get to see the light of day, like Libby Dole's.

The Kennedy-McCain bill last year was a disaster. This years Kennedy-Kyl (Specter, McCain, etc and even GW)was a close second. With all these ideas just mentioned, Reid doesn't seem to think he has any ideas to start a new bill with, cause he'll stick with the botch job he has.

Sen Sessions had it right when he said 'secret sessions' with La Raza and Chamber of Commerce and other influence groups. I do believe we'll see it again before the sessions over ... though I prefer it be dead in it's present form. I don't foresee this Congress, under Reid and Pelosi, taking on some of the major issues of the day ... Tax Reform, Immigration Reform, Social Security Reform, Medicare Reform, a viable Energy Policy just to name a few.

They can’t take on major issues because they never want to own up to accountability. They have a reflex reaction of blaming others for any failure .

George Soros was funding a lot of these left wing groups and yet we had so-called Republican Senators siding with that EVIL, VILE man......Spector, Graham, McCain...et al....you are in big trouble at home. Siding and co-signing with Kennedy, another EVIL, VILE man has stained you forever.
