“The Senate voted today to effectively block efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws, meaning that the issue is most likely dead until after the 2008 elections.
Needing 60 votes to bring debate on the contentious bill to an end ”” a step called cloture ”” and move it toward passage, proponents of the bill could only muster 46 votes in favor today, with 53 opposed.”
So now local and state governments will continue to pass their own laws because our elected Senators couldn’t figure this one out. My question to you readers is “Does this make immigration more or less important for the 2008 presidential election?”
