U.S. senators from both parties criticize immigration bill

[Psycho4Bud]

WASHINGTON: As the Senate began work on a comprehensive immigration bill, lawmakers from both parties demanded substantial changes in the legislation on Monday and forced Senate leaders to extend debate beyond the Memorial Day recess.

From the moment debate started, the crosscurrents buffeting the bill were evident. The intense lobbying since the bill emerged last week from three months of bipartisan negotiations is likely to be just a sample of what lawmakers will hear as they return home to their districts for the Memorial Day recess.

The bill overcame its first hurdle on Monday, a simple vote to begin debate on the hugely contentious measure.

The decision to extend debate followed four hours of speeches in which supporters and opponents of the bill agreed that the nation had lost control of its borders but disagreed on almost everything else.

"There just simply is not enough time on this massive, massively important piece of legislation to do it all" in one week, said the Senate majority leader, Harry Reid, Democrat of Nevada.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! BUT once again I'm sure there will be a few that will state that they were for it before they were against it. I wonder which side of the isle would state that?

Probably both sides. There are no winners here except the illegals and the corporations and elites. The rest of America gets fucked as usual. It's time to clean house. I have no preferance toward parties here, they are both guilty of selling out to special interests and fucking the people.
