SENATE AMNESTY BILL IS DEAD
DING DONG THE BILL IS DEAD! In a resounding defeat that saw as many as 15 Senators reversing their vote the Senate Amnesty Bill went down in defeat on the Senate floor in another cloture vote designed to advance the bill to the Senate floor for final passage.
In a 46 - 53 vote Senators voted to limit debate on the bill which by Senate rules kills the bill since a vote of 60 was needed to advance the bill to the Senate floor. The Senate server and phone lines were crashed yesterday and this morning in anticipation of the vote.
The American people have made it loud and clear that amnesty is not the answer. They have also in a nearly unified voice told Washington to close the borders first then fix the problem of illegals already in the country. You have to stop the flood before you can fix the results of the flooding.
This is not only a defeat for Senate Democrats and Republicans who have supported the bill like John McCain and Lindsay Graham but also a defeat for the President who put the weight of the Presidency behind this bill and has been lobbying Senators heavily over the past two weeks.
Senate rules will not allow the bill to be brought back to life in this session of Congress and with next year being an election year Immigration is not likely to return to Congress for at least two years.
Though the bill is dead Congress and the President do have the Constitutional authority to do what the American people are demanding. CLOSE THE BORDERS AND ENFORCE CURRENT LAWS NOW.
Additionally the bill which passed last fall that appropriated funding to build 700 miles of border fence has yet to be completed. To date only two miles have been erected leaving a whopping 698 miles left to build.
Our voice has been heard and now we have another opportunity to make the will of the people known in Washington. Continue the pressure. Crash phone lines and servers expressing the closing of the borders and building the fence. We have prevailed once and can again. Again I quote Winston Churchill, "Never give up, never give in!"
