But in 2007, it was 53 - 46 against. The House defeated amnesty in 2006, and the Senate defeated it in 2007. Looking at that 2007 Senate vote, there are many questions about how some of them would vote this year, if it comes to a vote again.

Bayh a Nay, and Lugar a Yes in 2007. Lugar is a RINO on par with McCain and Graham, but he mostly seems to fly under the RINO radar.

That 2007 vote is on a cloture motion, and IIRC, Reid presented a "take it or leave it" proposition. That approach will inevitably result in more NAY votes.

I followed the Senate pretty close for a year or two, and then got bored. Once you figure out it's largely a scripted charade, the thrill departs.

I take no joy from the inevitable collapse that the government has perpetrated, but IMO, it's a waste of time and energy to communicate or attempt to reason with it. Once a year, I go vote. If there is a candidate that I support, they get my vote.
