Senate passes the most significant overhaul of our nation's immigration laws in a generation

Today, the U.S. Senate overwhelmingly voted to pass immigration by a vote of 68-32, fulfilling the call and dreams of American and immigrant communities across the country.

All throughout the corners of America, we celebrate this monumental step the Senate has taken to finally pass historic immigration reform.

SEIU was founded by immigrant janitors over 90 years ago, and immigrants have been an intricate part of SEIU's, and America's, history. We're thrilled that our country is steps closer to finally enacting historic, commonsense immigration reform that is worthy of our values.

Only chance to stop the Amnesty bill:

Michelle Bachman explained it. ANY House bill no matter if it promises all the border security in the world will be a trojan horse.NO bill at all must come out of the House because it will be merged with the Senate Amnesty and trojan horse bill. Call congress.

Tell them to stop all Amnesty or immigration bills.they are all trojan horse bills. some will promise border security that will never be enforced anyway.

Bachmann explained it . The House will write a border security bill only . then in conference the senate will add the virus and then bring it back to the house. then the conservatives won’t vote for it but democrats will all vote for it so then they only need 10% of republicans to pass Amnesty and the virus that will destroy America. so any bill at all will be added the virus . so best thing is for Boner to not let any immigration bill at all come out of the House. that is the only hope . call boner and the members of the House.

It depends on what they mean by progress. The left believes progress is anything getting closer to the goal of forcing communism on us. They are the useful idiots of this generation.

The left’s agenda is pure evil wrapped in a pretty cover. Then end will be the same as it always it where ever it is tried. They can not stand freedom or liberty unless it can be used to create chaos like in the 1960s.

My Senator, Kelly Ayotte, NH, voted for this abomination. As a result, she has lost my support and I’ll be considering a new Senate candidate come the next election. I can only hope and pray the House has more common sense and kills this ill conceived bill.
