Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Reid just announced on CSPAN 2 that a vote for Cloture for S.744 will happen.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

So is this the vote that was originally going to take place on Friday?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Got really confused this afternoon when everyone was talking about the cloture vote. Afterall it was not the cloture on overall bill. People here watching suck at giving live updates..no offense. So any idea what time tomorrow?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

When is the final vote?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

I'm really confused by what you're saying:

First of all, the only person to say that the vote was a motion to end debate was me. I think Ianus said twice that CSPAN said it was a "vote to limit debate and amendments." (In the Cspan-2 thread)

Second of all: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/votes/113-2013/s164

Ianus gave you a quote straight off CSPAN, so no offense, but maybe you just have suck at interpreting information given to you via live updates.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

I don't know man.."Vote to end debate" pretty much means a final vote. But in reality it was a vote to limit debate...who cares anyway..shits coming tomorrow finally!! Hopefully!

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Tomorrow evening or friday I believe. Most likely see it coming tomorrow. Cloture vote to completely END DEBATE ON IMMIGRATION. 60 votes required. This is the vote that Dream Act failed in 2010 when it got only 55 YAYS.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

wasn't that a cloture vote today? "limit debate" isnt that what cloture is?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Yeah that's what I thought

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Cloture vote is to END debate. A vote to limit debate means to reduce the people from taking the floor and talk about the bill and the amount of time they're allowed to speak.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

wow. same shit. but whatever.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

do you think this immigration reform is a better deal than Dream act?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

The Dream Act IS in the CIR. However, an immigration reform is better than a dream act if you take them apart as it would benefit more people. Though some think a Dream Act is better as it has a better chance of passing

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

It was my mistake,I thought it was the Motion to End Debate as I was watching C-span off and on during the day.Well,If the cloture vote on S.744 is scheduled we'll see it sooner rather than later.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

I guess it is a bit confusing. When cloture is invoked, debate is limited to 30 hours. The motion that was passed 67-31 Wednesday was a motion to limit debate to 30 hours... so technically they passed a motion to invoke cloture on S. 744, right?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Dream act is inculded in the CIR? Can you link to the source?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Y'all bums

do DACA approved ppl still qualify for the original dream ac though? We are no longer illegal :O

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

DACA approved people would qualify for the DREAM act stated in the bill if they meet all the requirements. While DACA may give you a two year deferral from deportation, it does not provide you with lawful status. You're still "illegally present" in the United States, however you are not accruing unlawful presence during the two years. Having a work authorization, SSN, and a DL does not make you "legal."

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

nice find

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

So final vote is tomorrow?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

wait...... you guys didn't know the Dream Act was in the CIR?

holy shit how late are you guys into this or better yet did you guys actually read the first version of the Senate's bill?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

I knew that Dream Act was in the CIR bill.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

no we are illegal still just deferred from being deported
however, we are lawfully illegal

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

"...lawfully illegal..." Is such a ridiculous oxymoron.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Lawfully tolerated illegals?

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

thats DACA for you. in reality, we are not even lawfully or anything. that is something DHS made up so states could accept our EADs.


we are just being deferred from deportation for 2 years that is it. No more no less

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

not tolerated, deferred


deferred past participle, past tense of de·fer (Verb)
Verb

Put off (an action or event) to a later time; postpone.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

why are we having a second vote to limit debate? we just had one yesterday. this shit is so confusing.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

Yeah I am so confused right now.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

and not only that, they still debated a decent amount about it i feel like. which is the official cloture vote? jesus. I wanna know so I know whether or not we hit 70.

Re: Cloture Vote tomorrow!
 

cuz honestly, after yesterday's vote. there were no news articles about it really. I usually read a lot of crap after every little move. I was expecting a barrage of articles.
