DEMOCRATIC SENATE VOTES TO ALLOW CONVICTED FELON ILLEGALS, SOME WITH STANDING DEPORTATION ORDERS, TO BECOME CITIZENS. Rapid descent into madness has now reached crisis proportions.
WASHINGTON (AP) - A bipartisan immigration bill narrowly survived a potentially fatal challenge on Wednesday when the Senate turned back a Republican bid to limit the illegal immigrants who could gain lawful status.
The close vote on a proposal by Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, to bar felons—including those court-ordered to be deported—from legalization reflected the delicate position of the contentious immigration bill, which remains under threat from the right and the left.
The vote was 51-46 against the amendment. Democrats succeeded in sucking support from Cornyn's proposal by winning adoption of a rival version that would bar a more limited set of criminals, including certain gang members and sex offenders, from gaining legalization. The Senate backed that amendment 66-32.
EDITOR'S NOTE:
What we have here is a full-blown Immigration Bill Emergency. America must come together to kill this bill and to do it now.
