Consider this a positive development.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy is expected to
introduce an amendment to immigration reform legislation next week that
would extend rights to same-sex couples — a move that one crafter of the
bill says will kill its chances of passing.
Leahy, a Vermont Democrat, will propose allowing foreign-born partners
in same-sex relationships with Americans to apply for green cards, according
to the prominent gay-rights group Immigration Equality. Currently, the
rights apply only to foreign-born spouses of heterosexual couples.
“Senator Leahy has been a champion of the cause for over a decade,”
Rachel Tiven, executive director of the group said yesterday.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), one of the “Gang of 8” bipartisan group of
senators that crafted the immigration bill, contends that introducing the
same-sex marriage issue into the fragile legislation giving a path to
citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants would kill the bill — and
cost his support.
“This immigration bill is difficult enough as it is,” Rubio said.
“If you inject something like this in the bill, it will die. The
coalition behind it will fall apart.”
Please, let it die. Meanwhile, support for this lunacy is dwindling rapidly.
A new poll shows a slip in support for legislation that would create a
path to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants.
A little over half of the respondents, 52 percent, favor the proposal,
down from 59 percent on April 4, 11 days before the Boston Marathon terror
bombing by two immigrant brothers, according to the Quinnipiac University
survey.
