The Senate voted 82-15 on Tuesday to end debate on a motion to proceed to a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
The Senate is expected to continue work on the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act throughout June. The next vote will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday that will be on the actual motion to proceed to the bill.
The four Republican members of the Gang of Eight Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Jeff Flake (R- Ariz.) were joined by more than 20 other GOP senators in voting to advance the debate. That strong support is expected to dwindle if certain amendments aren't agreed to.
"As an elected leader in my party, its my view that we at least need to try to improve a situation that as far as I can tell very few people believe is working well either for our own citizens, or for those around the world who aspire to become Americans," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said ahead of the vote Tuesday. "Ill vote to debate it and for the opportunity to amend it, but in the days ahead there will need to be major changes to this bill if its going to become law."

Believe you’d better reassess....There are too few (L) in Congress; it’s the GOP itself whom is selling off the farm from underneath our feet.
Paul may have said he’d see what’s coming; it’s your GOP ‘leadership’ that’s happily bending over to take it up the shoot. There was a chance to remove Boehner, and no one took it.
Blame the GOP, not the (L), whom have little clout in the whole affair.

Teddy, that reminds me. Jeb Bush is at a Presidential hopeful DC Christian Conference right now. He’s a luciferian and he starved Terri for his older brother. We are all Terri now. Our rights under The Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are being starved.
I know how you must feel, floriduh voter, for having voted for Rubio. At least you can say you acted as an honest broker and went with the info you had at the time.
Now, I am itching to vote out John Cornyn, but no one dares challenge him. And George P. Bush, Jebbie’s boy, is now unopposed for land commissioner of TX, an administrative job over the leasing of state-owned lands.
How does that “We gotta vote republican no matter what/principles don’t matter/purists are killing the party/lesser evil” sandwich taste?
This is what you get for it folks. The next time you see a psuedocon spouting this crap, be sure to thank them.

B.S. The strong support will dwindle when certain pubbies who are up for election vote against amnesty only because they know it is going through anyway. I hate all of them for thinking we are this stupid.
I am EXTREMELY irritated with Sen. Ron Johnson. He WAS our grassroots tea party candidate. Et tu, Brute Johnson??
Why are they all bound and determined to destroy the country? Don’t they realize that they’ll go down with the ship, too?
You are right !
I mad the mistake and switch on Fox leftist news and there was a
Blackout on This Amnesty bill ,
That idiot Hannity never mentioned it !!!!
That con artist Hannity is paid stooge of Rove Adelson and his keeper Murdoch !
We are in deep trouble folks.
The dems own the media and have shut up everyone
What do you think all those executive bunkers are for? They spend a year or two in seclusion while the world goes full tilt road warrior, then comes out when we have sufficiently depopulated ourselves to rebuild their brave new liberal world.
Think that’s tinfoil? Read up on Agenda 21 and the Officially UN approved Turtle Island Project. Here’s a hint. The TIP calls for a max US pop of 300,000 people.
The only thing I watch anymore is C-Span so I can see what these jerks are doing behind our backs.
We are in deep deep trouble
Fox News has been shut down on this topic ,
Rush and Levin are acting oddly quiet too.
You are really making an ass of yourself tonight. Last November, I voted to impeach, convict, and remove the butcher of benghazi from the White House. Something you and the rest of the beltway GOP are too cowardly to do.
You do really have a lot in common with Boehner & McConnell. All hat and no cattle. Bye.
War...War never changes...
Have a good night Mr. Alynski. Toodles!
Tell me art doesn’t imitate life. ;)
