Tonight the Immigration Bill lost the floor on a cloture vote (45-50). Everyone agrees that the US needs a new immigration policy…but this bill was not it…there was something for everyone to hate in this bill…no matter what end of the political spectrum you come from.
The Guest Worker Program with the gaping loophole that allows employers to continue exploiting immigrant workers while pulling the rug out from under American construction workers and their families will never pass muster. Until that provision of this flawed bill is fixed, this bill will continue to be opposed by American workers.
The Senate can do better for legal immigrants and American workers.
Please share widely!
