They don't have to vote on every single amendment to proceed to a final vote for passage, the amendment process ends with a successful motion to proceed.
What exactly do they want to amend anyway? They only thing I'm hearing is "trigger, trigger, trigger." The Republicans are holding out for a trigger placed in the bill. This whole hang up has always been about the path to citizenship, and how fast, or even if, we should get one. You know it, I know, and they know it.
