WASHINGTON (AP) --
Legislation to give children of illegal immigrants a path toward legality failed a crucial test vote in the Senate Wednesday, likely putting a final stamp on major immigration measures for the year.
Supporters needed to get 60 votes to advance the DREAM Act, which would have allowed illegal immigrants who plan to attend college or join the military, and who came to the United States with their families before they turned 16, to move toward legality.
The final vote was 52-44.

The Senate just doesn’t ‘get it’.

America: Never give up, never surrender
Even if most times it seems we fight our own government.
it will be back again in 6 weeeks.
And, we will be back again in six weeks. :)
This is good news. I would ike, however, to know just who the 44 Senators are that voted for this abomination.
Alright, we stopped it again. Our phone calls and faxes are doing the job. I wonder how long the dems will keep trying to sneak this through. If it wasn’t for the internet we would have been saddled with this shamnesty, thank you Al Gore for inventing it!(snicker).
What part of “the American people don’t want this chit” don’t the Senators understand?
I think 52 voted for it, but they needed 60.
The Dummycrats lose again. Harry Reid and Nan Pelosi. Two of themost ineffective and incompetent congressional leaders in the history of the republic. I’m glad their on the other side.
their=they’re
I was worried for a while when I found it so easy to get through on the phone! So glad it failed!! We did it again, and we can keep on doing it! Now looking forward to doing everything I can to see Martinez and Nelson voted out of office here in Florida!
