发帖数: 61690 | 1 The Senate will not vote on any more immigration amendments this week, but
will have a heavy slog beginning Monday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (
D-Nev.) told the chamber.
Reid on Thursday also said the Senate could work on amendments to the bill
next weekend, a threat the majority leader frequently makes but usually does
not follow through on.
“We’re going to finish the work on the floor here soon, but we’re going
to come back Monday and be on this bill,” Reid said. “Next weekend we will
be working on this bill. We will finish this bill before the July recess.”
Senate leaders were working on an agreement to vote on at least four more
amendments Thursday, but Reid said because of a storm approaching Washington
, D.C., the Senate would continue work on those amendments next week.
He spoke after the Senate voted to table Sen. Chuck Grassley's (R-Iowa)
amendment, which would have required the border to be secure for six months
before immigrants in the country illegally would have been provided with a
pathway to citizenship.
The Senate began considering the immigration reform bill this week. Work on
amendments is expected through the end of the month.

WASHINGTON—The Senate on Thursday defeated the first significant attempt by
Republicans to derail the bipartisan overhaul of immigration laws, voting
against an amendment that would have required the U.S.-Mexico border to be
secure for six months before any illegal immigrants could start the process
toward gaining legal residency.
Had it been adopted, the amendment, offered by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa
), one of the bill's most vocal critics, could have sunk the entire bill, as
many Democrats could have abandoned support for a watered-down version.
....balabala....
The vote defeating the amendment was 57-43. Technically, it was a motion to
table, which is a procedural tactic used by the majority to force
supermajority votes on measures they oppose. As such, Mr. Grassley would
have needed 60 "no" votes to overcome the motion and keep his amendment
alive, many more than the 43 he received.
