Good Job Senate Judiciary Committee

Yes, Senate Judiciary Committee did a good job on Immigration Reform Bill.

Gail Collins in his NY Times Article said, "Immigration reform has been the 2013 bipartisan bright spot in the Senate, unless you were really moved by the day they voted to debate gun control before killing all the gun control plans. The committee members cheerfully plowed through 300-odd proposed amendments, while taking turns telling which country their great-grandfather came from. There was, of course, a lot of disagreement, although almost everybody seemed to enjoy slapping down ideas offered by Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

Immigration Bill Gaining Steam

The U.S. Senate's Gang of Eight fended off poison-pill amendments, meant to derail a bipartisan immigration reform bill supporters say is gaining steam.

The Senate Judiciary Committee, during a markup session last week, voted down Republican-sponsored amendments that sought to delay putting 11 million illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship and dramatically increase the number of Border Patrol agents and surveillance vehicles, among other things, The Hill reported Friday.

The bill's sponsors also held off an effort U.S. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., a liberal, to halt Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano from deporting undocumented workers to unsafe areas. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., one of the bill's chief authors, said Coons's proposal was so broad that it could stop almost all deportations to Mexico.

The members of the Gang of Eight on the panel -- Schumer and Sens. Dick Durbin, D-Ill.; Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.; and Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., stood firm to defeat amendments that could undermine the bill's bipartisan support.
