The amendment offered by Paul protects the sanctity of the ballot box by ensuring that those present in the United States on work visas or who receive immigration status under provisions of the larger legislation are prevented from voting until they become U.S. citizens.

"... until they become U.S. citizens." My first impulse upon reading that was, "Oh, that makes me feel SO much better /sarc."

But it might work as a poison pill, if it got the votes. And it puts RINOs on the spot.

Its a good try. (In fact I thought Cruz proposed this.)

Those in congress who do nothing else but vote ‘No’ will be as meaningful as those who voted for Mickey Mouse when Boeher came up for a vote in January, if this crap gets to Obamas desk,
