IF he and Rubio had 59 votes for their amnesty bill we would hear that - non stop and the hold outs would be identified so the media and La Raza could bomb them with propaganda. That's not happening so the number must be less than 59. Even if it is 58 we would hear and see the same tactics - but we're not so the number is most likely 57 or less.

Wrong. Here is the current math, according to Stand With Arizona:

Democrats........52
Independents......2
Gang of 8 GOP..4
Kelly Ayotte.......1
----------------
Subtotal...........59

So that means they only need ONE. And by SWA's reckoning, we should expect any of Mark Kirk, Saxby Chambliss, Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, Orrin Hatch, Johnny Isakson and perhaos others to join them...even Rand Paul.

If that total is correct, then this is in the hands of the House of Representatives.

>>Guess one should start a CW-II pool countdown matrix.<<

After what we've all learned about this gubbamint over the last few weeks and CW hasn't broke out....not sure the immigration treason will spark a fire.

” What little remains of “American culture” is being destroyed by the virtually unrestrained influx of ILLEGALS from all parts of the world.

IT’S TIME IT STOPPED!! NO AMNESTY!!!!!

And if you and the other Republicans think these folks will support the GOP, think again. Thanks to the Democrat “freebies”, nearly all of them will vote Democrat — FOREVER!!!”

NAILED it!

With all the scandals breaking, I’m glad the Senate has its priorities straight.

No way will Senate Dems support guest workers and enforcement unless citizenship is included

LOL. wishful thinking.The dems are laughing at us.

The evil left and the evil Rinos like Rubio clearly know that before the ink is dry on this bill (figuratively), some judge will rule in favor of giving the criminal illegals full citizenship with chained migration thrown in as a bonus.

The fix is in. Our Republic will truly die with the passage of this bill. This will be checkmate.

There will be no CW. Any organized rebellion against the Federal monster can only come about at the State level.

How can it happen otherwise?

No in fact Dems know that a judge wont do that,
that is why as a precondition for negotiations Dems demanded UP FRONT that the 4Rs on the gang of eight agree to citizenship, and they (Republicans caved.) Dems have amnesty without citizenship right now under Obama Dream act.

Remove citizenship and Dems will bolt. Its unfortunately too simple.

Return Senatorial appointments to the various governors and this stuff will cease. Right now states have no representation in congress as states only as voting blocs and sources of campaign finances..
