An amendment submitted by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley requiring the security of the Nation's borders before granting amnesty to more than 11 million illegal immigrants, has been voted down by the Senate Judiciary Committee 6-12. Every Democrat on the Committee voted against the amendment.
The amendment:
Purpose: To prohibit the granting of registered provisional immigrant status until the Secretary has maintained effective control of the borders for 6 months and to apply border security strategies to all border sectors.
Gang of Eight Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham sit on the Committee and voted against the amendment. Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer, also Gang of Eight and Committee members, voted against the amendment.

They certainly are.
I pray Boehner and the House Republicans are getting the message so they can kill this if (when) it passes the Senate. They have got to stand against this treasonous bill.

This can't be. The Gang of 8 is running non-stop (it seems) PSAs in Texas, using RINO Rubio as a spokesman, saying the exact opposite.

This is what happens when you allow RINO’s to mate with Democrats.

Rubio has been carrying the Gop-e water/let's help the libs on this.
Anyone can see that now. That bill coming up should be opposed.
