SB 1348, the bill which would have given those who entered our country illegally amnesty for violating our immigration laws, committing identity theft, and forgery and/or possession of false documents is now dead.
I have to admit, Senator Brownback has now successfully straddled the fence. He voted no on the first cloture vote (which helped keep the debate going), then didn’t vote at all on the second cloture vote. Either he wasn’t present to vote, or else he simply decided not to vote to show his support towards those who violate our laws.
At the least, I am glad to see that the US Senate listened to the American people and shut this bill down. Sorry all of you who support rewarding people who violate the law. Maybe we can start again next year by actually securing the border first, working on an employment verification system, then starting to discuss the other, more contentious items.
Until then, Adios!
