The Senate when they passed this bill put the special interests of the corporations ahead of the special interests of the citizens of the United States

That's exactly right. The majority of Senators are pretending to be concerned about the welfare of the immigrants and their value to our economy, but in reality they're catering to the interests of big agri-business and construction industries which are profiting immensely from the cheap illegal labor force.

The big shots who live in Manhattan penthouses and gated nature preserves in CA aren't bothered by the prospect of the estimated 70-100 million more poor, uneducated, diseased immigrants that will be crowded into the US and onto our already overburdened welfare and health care systems within the next 10-15 years if the Senate bill is accepted by the House. My Congressman is pretty well aligned with my view on this issue, but I am going keep his line hot if and when the bill comes up for a floor vote with the amnesty provision still in it just to be sure he hangs tough when the administration and the GOP party apparatus puts the pressure on. I urge everyone who is concerned about this critical issue to do the same, the House is now our only hope of killing this monster.
