They are real, they are breathing and they are breeding and creating revenue that the Government wants to capture.

Get Real.

It has already been proven that the illegal invasion will cost the treasuries across this land trillions more than the taxes they will collect from them. They have no innate desire to learn English which will Balkanize the US and lead to it's demise. It will give the Demos millions of envy driven voters that will allow the DemoRats to eventually create a totalitarian dictatorship. It's all about one thing: Power. The power to rule over us with an iron fist. That's the end game.

In all likelihood they will invoke cloture b/c Dirty Harry would not have let the vote take place if he didn’t have the votes and the acquiesence of McConnell to let the matter proceed.

Cloture vote in the Senate on whether to let the debate on the immigration bill proceed. Just a preliminary squirmish.

They are going to get 60+ votes. Even Nelson (D-NE) said he would vote for cloture and against the bill in its current form. Done deal.

Looks like the pro-amnesty folks are getting some opposition from some key demos
