(September 18) Today, the Senate resumed consideration of H.R. 1585, the Defense Department authorization bill for fiscal year 2008. At some point during the debate over the next few days, open-borders senators will attempt to attach three proposals that, when taken together, would grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens and dramatically increase the importation of foreign workers at a time 10 million Americans are looking for jobs and can't find employment.
The floor vote on the amendment containing the DREAM Act amnesty (SA 2237) may occur on Wednesday, September 19. It will take 41 NO votes to kill this amnesty and, at this point, not enough Senators have committed to help.
