Quote:
Two Texas Democrats who resisted signing a petition to force a vote on a series of immigration bills will now join most Democrats and two dozen Republicans in supporting the motion, bringing the number of its signatories to 215.

With Reps. Filemon Vela and Vicente González's signatures, the petition would be just three short of the 218 needed to force votes on legislation that would offer shelter to so-called Dreamers that came to the U.S. illegally as children.

Vela and González withheld their signatures from the measure because of the possibility that it could end in legislation that funds a border wall, which they oppose.

"I don't like doing it, but I was with [Brownsville Bishop Daniel E. Flores] yesterday for like an hour and a half and I had meetings with Dreamers," Vela told The Hill. "That's pretty much it."
"I will vote for a clean Dream Act, but not for any measure that includes border wall funding. Republican moderates claim they have the votes to move their discharge petition forward. … Let’s see it,” Vela added in a statement.

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) is now the only Democrat not supporting the discharge petition.

If Cuellar signs on, supporters would need two more Republicans to join the effort to force the votes.

Reps. Carlos Curbelo (Fla.) and Jeff Denham (Calif.), the petition's top GOP promoters, had said earlier that there were enough votes to go forward, with or without the three Texas Democrats.

And there were pages of people bitching about how Democrats don't want to help us because of the 3 holdouts. Y'all need to chill. They aren't perfect but they are definitely more on our side than Rebloodlicans. Their refusal to sign it before was because political posturing because even though they're on our side, they're still sleazy politicians. But they'll come around. Cuellar will probably sign it in the next few days.

Thanks for the link but gah damn it, give it a few hours. Don’t you realize how stupid it would look if they went back on their promise to sign it.

Oh please. They are just as dirty as Republicans. Why don't they just sign up from the beginning? If they care so much, every D would sign up on the first day Nancy gives signal. Nah.

And seriously, that bitch face in your avatar is haunting me.

You should check out airport men’s bathrooms. They usually have a few Republican congressmen looking for a quickie blow.
