Not under the current Democrat regime. If it makes it out of committee, it gets passed.

The amnesty of 2007 made it to this stage, then was defeated because the could not get the 60 votes. Reid even tried the "Clay Pigeon" tactic and it still failed.

Actually, the amnesty bills of 2006 and 2007 were brought to the floor and defeated because they could not get 60 votes, with Reid presiding both times.

One out of how many? And I mentioned “ under the current regime” which would include our gutless president, making it a grand slam for the Dems. IMHO
