No mention that the “ineligibles” were felons. Cute.

"The amendment would have restricted the number of illegal immigrants eligible to remain in the country"

Yeah, real cure that they didn't mention that it would have "restricted the number" by preventing felons from staying in the country.

So the following senators just voted to allow illegal aliens who have committed felonies from staying in the country for an unlimited length of time: Larry Craig (Idaho) Pete Domenici (N.M.) Lindsey Graham (S.C.) Chuck Hagel (Neb.) Jon Kyl (Ariz.) Richard Lugar (Ind.) Mel Martinez (Fla.) John McCain (Ariz.) Arlen Specter (Pa.) George Voinovich (Ohio)

Instead, the Senate passed a similar, narrower amendment that would prevent some criminals, including sex offenders and some gang members, from becoming legal residents.

In fact, the article intentionally gives the impression that the Cornyn amendment wouldn't have prevented *any* criminals from becoming legal.
