Immigration bill killed
Tagged: borderPosted on: June 28th, 2007“The Senate turned its back on any immigration this year when it failed to muster the 60 votes the bill needed to stay alive.
Senators voted 46 to 53 to end debate on the bill.
The bills chances had been tanking in the past 24 hours as senators who had hoped to see their amendments pass were disappointed and the opponents continued to hammer away at provisions they said amounted to amnesty and that would not adequately secure the nations borders.”
