Cornyn的amendment正式提出: http://big.assets.huffingtonpost.com/RESULTSAmendment.pdf
Reid说Cornyn的议案是poison pill:

Reid在border security问题上的态度非常强硬:
"I am concerned that some who oppose the very idea of reform see these
triggers as a backdoor way to undermine the legislation," Reid said on the
Senate floor. "And I believe some Republicans with no intention of voting
for the final bill -- regardless of how it is amended -- seek to offer these
amendments with the sole purpose of derailing this vital reform."
这次CIR失败的一种可能性是senate跟house在border security问题上谈崩。
