The Senates bipartisan immigration working group split along party lines during a contentious budget vote to prevent illegal immigrants who receive legal status from receiving federal health benefits.
The Senate early Saturday morning defeated the amendment to the budget resolution which would have put the Senate on record as opposing access to health care under Medicaid or the Affordable Care Act for undocumented immigrants who get a green card.
The amendment, which failed 43 to 56, was offered by Senate Budget ranking member Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
All Democrats including gang members Dick Durbin of Illinois, Bob Menendez of New Jersey, Charles E. Schumer of New York and Michael Bennet of Colorado opposed the amendment. They were joined by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska. All other Republicans including immigration negotiators Marco Rubio of Florida, John McCain of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona supported the amendment.
The gang of eight has been negotiating a comprehensive immigration reform package that they hope to unveil when the Senate returns the week of April 8 from spring recess.

The result of todays vote places immigration reform in jeopardy, Sessions said.
Immigration reform advocates, including National Council of La Raza, said Friday they would be monitoring what they contend to be any anti-immigrant votes and put members of both parties on notice that their votes would be remembered come election day........

The Democrats are entitling illegal aliens in order to # over the rest of us. Traitorous scumbags.
Is there nothing these F’n treasonous bastards won’t do to tear our country to pieces? Damn it, how I loathe everything about them.
Why do they list ten members in the ‘Gang of Eight’? To make it seem other than a GOP-led initiative? (I count six GOPers and four Dems.)
It is ANTI-ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT! Why does the Left NEVER admit that we aren’t anti-immigrant??? Oh wait, they are all LIARS!
Are there any?
But if they don’t get benefits, why would they bother to join the plantation?
why is Holder still there and why is Menendez still in his seat.
Forst the illegal and then the whores and secret, well now not so secret unless you’re a low info Dem voter?
Where do these democrats think they’re going to get the money to give illegal aliens health care?
question is why do Dem voters vote for a party which they themsselves are against like homosexual marriage, cross dressing military, illegals getting welfare.
frigging low info voters on the left keep voting these socialists in and as for Colins and the other RINOs
spit.
ok so the feds sue states which enforce the fed laws like immigration.
Ignores states which ignore fed law like illigration and drugs.
Goes after gun which is a constitutional right but then ignore another law called DOMA
DO we even have any laws today AND HOLDER SHOULD HAVE BEEN REMOVED YEARS AGO, him nd his racists need to answer for what they have and are doing
What’s anti-immigrant is a legal immigration system that punishes you for following the law and rewards you for breaking it.
In Obama’s address, the president pledged that the healthcare reform law would not cover illegal immigrants, prompting Wilson to shout, You lie!
Something extremely insidious in DC is raping the Country.
Ummmm, your wallet, piggy bank and 401K account?
Senate rejects ban on allowing former illegal immigrants healthcare benefits
Do they get the benefit of getting raped with the taxes that go with it too?
to think many of us thought we won the cold war against he commies and we did over in Europe, we just didnt weed out the comies over here who waited for their day, got jobs in the media, infiltrated our party by using the Govt out of your private life and got itno the higest seats of Govt.
Oh wait they wrote that back in 1963 and made it public what their agenda was.
Just the idiots today still ignore the threats to the country and still let the infiltrators into our party and have never questioned the media
