In a 68-32 decision, the Senate approved the immigration bill today. However, prospects of passage through the House look bleak. While 100% of Democrats voted for the bill, fewer than 1/3 of Republicans voted for it. In fact, all five of the senior leadership on the GOP side voted against it. Here is a list of who voted for and against the bill.
This is a summary of key provisions of the immigration bill.
If the bill is allowed to come to the floor of the House, there is a chance it might pass if the Dems are joined by sufficient GOP members. The question is whether Boehner will allow the bill to come to the floor for a vote.
