Immigration bill clears Senate, faces uncertain future in House

Vowing they’ve learned the lessons from the 1986 amnesty, the Senate on Thursday approved the biggest changes to the immigration system in a generation, promising this latest version will prevent another wave of illegal immigrants while at the same time granting a pathway to citizenship to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.

The 68-32 vote, which saw 14 Republicans join all 54 of the chamber’s Democratic caucus members support it, is likely the high-water mark for immigrant-rights advocates, who held prayer vigils and watching parties Thursday in anticipation of good news for illegal immigrants who’ve been waiting, in some cases for years, for legal status.

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Yes she did explain it! I've been sounding like a broken record around here trying to pass her info on.

Thanks for explaining/posting this.

If it takes that much calling for our representatives to do the right thing, then it is obvious they do not want to represent us, they want to represent Mexicans.

Stick a fork in the country; she’s done.

Stop posting "solutions". Forget it. It is annoying. NOTHING will ever get fixed -NO ONE IS LISTENING, the sooner the POS Union collapses the better.

Look at the USA like the stock market, view all bad news as good news, the sooner this crap falls a apart the sooner the republic can be restored, or not.

Did you forget the /sarc?? You do know that traitor-evil Boehner wants this bill to pass and destroy any chance Conservatives have to save our Republic?

You do know that evil-traitor Boehner worships with all his dark soul at the Alter of State Power?

Boehner is truly an evil human, no less than any of those on the left.

The GOP-e know quite clearly that the passage of this evil bill will guarantee the Statists of both parties will likely have power for the foreseeable future.

Our Republic is being dismantled before our eyes.

So what? They are going to have their own bill. WE DON’T NEED ANY NEW LAW. ENFORCE EXISTING LAW.

“The GOP-e know quite clearly that the passage of this evil bill will guarantee the Statists of both parties will likely have power for the foreseeable future.”

The Democrat-Republican Party is an existential threat to the United States.

Correct. What difference will the House’s law make .. when they go to conference, all the good stuff will be taken out of the House bill, and they’ll further strip the Senate bill and it will be worse than what they voted on today.

They think we’re stupid and we don’t know how the game is played.

They’re really beginning to scare me. They are selling our country down the river and they don’t care what happens to it’s people.
