Senate Passes Immigration Bill 68-32
Well the vote on the Senate’s immigration bill brought about a result as expected. Following the cloture vote on Monday, it was all but assured that the bill was going to pass the Senate. However the 68-32 vote didn’t reach the 70 votes Amnesty supporters had hoped for in order to put pressure on the House to pass the bill. Though the senators were admonished by Vice President Joe Biden to refrain from expressing approval or disapproval, the senators ignored it chanting “yes we can,” which is not only a reference to the Obama campaign slogan, but hints at the Aztlan movement.
For now, House leaders are signaling that the bill is dead on arrival.
House Deputy Whip Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) says passing the Senate bill is a “pipe dream,” while Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) claims that the House won’t even hold a vote on the Senate Amnesty bill.
However, the Republican leadership in the House can’t be trusted either. All I have to do is utter the words “fiscal cliff deal” and you should get my point. In fact, Boehner has indicated they will draw up their own separate bill.
“We’ll do our own bill, through regular order and it’ll be a bill that reflects the will of our majority and the people we represent,”
said Boehner.
Boehner didn’t elaborate on details either. The Associated Press reports:
Boehner declined to say if there were circumstances under which he could support a pathway to citizenship, but he made clear that securing the border was a priority.
“People have to have confidence that the border is secure before anything else is really going to work. Otherwise, we repeat the mistakes of 1986,” he said, referring to the last time Congress overhauled the immigration system.
Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader, also said he favors a bipartisan approach. At the same time, she noted that Democratic principles for immigration include “secure our borders, protect our workers, unite families, a path to legalization and now citizenship for those” without legal status.
Now that the Senate’s amnesty drama is over, we’ll move on to the House’s. I suggest getting in touch with your representatives and telling them that you are oppose to amnesty, rewarding illegals, and that you are in favor of them following the Constitution and protecting the border.

This monstrosity of Bill is now Dead on Arrival in the House of Representatives.
Boehner said he will not bring Senate Bill to the floor."The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes. We're going to do our own bill through regular order, and it'll be legislation that reflects the will of our majority and the will of the American people," said House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio. "And for any legislation, including a (final bill), to pass the House, it's going to have to be a bill that has the support of the majority of our members."
