Senate Votes against cloture on S-1639

Written by Simon
Saturday, 30 June 2007
The hopes of ten million people were crushed on Thursday when the Senate, bending to the noise of the xenophobes on the right, failed to get the votes to move S-1639 forward. I had written on this site that it was unlikely that this legislation could pass the Senate and even less likely that it could get through the House but hope sprang eternal and I was as disappointed as anyone. Senate Vote 2. 15 Democrats voted against cloture and 11 Republicans voted for it. Both parties bear some of the blame for this failure. The Democrats did not step up and deliver the votes and the Republicans were cowardly about standing up to their right wing. Some good can rise from this debacle. This show of misanthropy by the US Senate will perhaps make a few more people wonder why some people are allowed to tell others where they can and can’t live. It may take another twenty years but the tyranny of the ovarian lottery will end. Be first to comment this article \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 399

Senate Votes for Cloture on S 1639

The Senate moved one step in the direction of Comprehensive Immigration Reform by voting for closure on S 1639 yesterday. There is still a long way to go. Along with substantial efforts to change the nature of the bill there are still real parlimentary hurdles to overcome. Nine Democrats and twenty six Republicans voted against cloture.

We used to say that it was illegal for black children and white children to go to school together. We were wrong then and we are wrong now. Be first to comment this article \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 346

The Cost Argument Defeated

Written by Simon
Thursday, 21 June 2007
The Heritage Foundation reported that the cost of amnesty would be several trillion dollars and the right said “I told you so.” Do this simple test to see how wrong that report is. Be first to comment this article \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 290

Why “Comprehensive Immigration Reform” is Failing in Congress.

Written by Simon
Monday, 11 June 2007
The Government really should not have the right to decide where people can live. People should have the right to decide where they live. Be first to comment this article \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 370
