The Senate voted 82-15 on Tuesday to end debate on a motion to proceed to a comprehensive immigration reform bill.
The Senate is expected to continue work on the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act throughout June. The next vote will be held at 4 p.m. on Tuesday — that will be on the actual motion to proceed to the bill.
The four Republican members of the Gang of Eight — Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), John McCain (R-Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Jeff Flake (R- Ariz.) — were joined by more than 20 other GOP senators in voting to advance the debate. That strong support is expected to dwindle if certain amendments aren't agreed to.
"As an elected leader in my party, it’s my view that we at least need to try to improve a situation that as far as I can tell very few people believe is working well either for our own citizens, or for those around the world who aspire to become Americans," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said ahead of the vote Tuesday. "I’ll vote to debate it and for the opportunity to amend it, but in the days ahead there will need to be major changes to this bill if it’s going to become law."

I was not a hater until lately. Now I hate all that seek to destroy this once great nation and hope a pox on them all.
Yea,RINOs rescuing Marxists.
The fix was in on this a long time ago.
Just so people know, the MAJORITY of Republicans in the Senate — including Mitch McConnell — are now on the record supporting amnesty. This isn’t just McCain and Rubio — this is most of them.
82-15.

“I was not a hater until lately. Now I hate all that seek to destroy this once great nation and hope a pox on them all.”
I have made that transition as well. I rejoice when The Lord calls any them Home.
Lautenberg’s death was a time for celebration for me. Seems as though this is the only thing that puts a real end to any of these Marxists. We have fallen so far as a country and a people.
The IRS rigged the 2012 election by preventing conservative groups from getting started
This is an IRS Senate and Congress .
the 2012 election is invalid.
” Which will be the Democrat/Republican makeup of the Senate after 20 million illegals are start voting... “
+ 50 million soon to follow.
The 2014 elections results are going to come as a great surprise to these men.
OK, Freepers who gamble: place your bets.
Anyone got the odds on this passing both House and Senate and being signed into law by Obama before the summer recess?
I’d say those odds are pretty damned good, if I were a betting man.
20 million, + 50-60 million from chain migration = NO Republican party.
More than 20 others... WTH.
I’m interested in the names of those 15 who DARED!
