McConnell: Senate will 'probably not' vote on Dreamers bill

House Democrats' DREAM Act will "probably not" get a vote in the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Wednesday.

The Kentucky Republican's rejection of the legislation that would give a path to citizenship to immigrants brought to the United States as children is just the latest example of the Senate Republican majority sidelining House-passed legislation. McConnell said that he would want to see a broader approach on immigration before the Senate would take it up...

McConnell began fast-track process of placing House-passed American Dream and Promise Act (HR 6) under Rule XIV on Senate calendar.

English please

And UWD was all celebrating about how it passed in the House.

Cannot wait for this shitshow to come to a fucking end!

Majority leader McConnell will bypass the regular committee process. Normally once a bill has passed in a house, it is considered and introduced in the respective committee and subcommittees.

But since McConnell used Senate Rule XIV, the bill will be introduced and has the chance to bypass the committee assignments process in favor of putting it on the Senate Calendar. Now, the process itself doesn’t guarantee that there will be a floor debate or even a vote on the Dream and Promise Act. It remains to be seen what the turtle is planning to do

Thanks

We need to protest outside his office and try to get a vote on it in the Senate... I wish some organization would do that!

Quote:

“I think the dreamers have a sympathetic case,” McConnell said. “There are circumstances under which I and others would be happy to support that. But we need to do more than that. You know there’s some genuine fixes on the legal immigration side and on the illegal immigration side that need to be addressed.”
