BREAKING: Senate Agrees To Debate Immigration Bill

By a vote of 82 to 15 on Tuesday, the Senate cleared the first hurdle toward voting on a comprehensive immigration reform bill that could potentially provide a pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants. This was the first vote on an immigration overhaul in six years.

There are still many obstacles to overcome before immigration reform becomes law, but this first vote means that the bill has cleared the 60-vote threshold to avoid a filibuster on even considering the measure.

Most people where hopping for 70 votes and we got 82 not bad.

So what's next ?

But it doesn't mean that the final vote will get 82. There is still more debating and a final vote. There are some republicans that voted yes and have stated that they won't at the final stage.

They only voted to vote on it later

I predicted 75 so my prediction was the most accurate out of all.

Overall it is a very good vote, it shows that a large majority is at least willing to sit down and discuss the issue. Obviously we'll get less when it comes to cloture and up/down votes.

I think the final will be 75.

That's too much...it will be around the 60s

I think at least 75.
