update
"Summary
The Senate passed a filibuster hurdle this afternoon on comprehensive immigration reform by an 82-15 vote, and then called up the bill for debate on an 84-15 vote. While both procedural votes were expected to pass, the margins were quite strong.

Do not, however, expect this to be indicative of the bill's final passage in the chamber, if it even gets there.

The Senate will spend the next weeks considering amendments. The drafters of the bill, and majority leader Harry Reid, have said they do not want any major changes to the bill, but will allow some votes on amendments to touch-up border security, the path to citizenship, and so on. The major components of the bill - expanded visas, stronger border security, and a path to citizenship contingent upon the success of border security - are basically set in place.

Also, immigration reform does still have to go through an entire other house of Congress."

This was expected. Now comes the more difficult part

Yup nice news.

This vote was just so they can proceed and discuss the bill right?

yea,i think it also serve as a test vote.

Well what if they are just voting Yay to discuss immigration reform and then Vote nay to put it to bed?

Is anyone else watching this?

I think yay to consider it

I predicted 75 but later got 84. My prediction was the closest out of any member here.

Wrong again DA_User, my prediction was at 81.
