BREAKING: Senate Passes Historic Immigration Reform
 
On Thursday afternoon, an immigration reform bill that would affect millions of undocumented immigrants was approved by a final vote of 68 to 32 in the Senate. The bill puts up to 11 million undocumented immigrants on a pathway to citizenship and enforces tough border security measures. Vice President Joe Biden presided over the historic vote, in which all the senators were required to vote from their desks. The Senate gallery was packed with exuberant DREAMers, undocumented youths who were brought to the U.S. by their parents. The gallery chanted “Yes we can” after the bill was officially passed.

I'm just scared the house will kill the bill faster than you can bink your eyes.

Well,either way we're going to require 218 votes in the House whether to force the issue on the House floor OR to preserve a path to citizenship!!!!
