We've lost our country. Who knows at this point, it could very well pass the Senate. Certainly, when (not if) the DEMS take the majority or are seated in the oval office, the reality is millions of ILLEGALS will eventually get voting rights. Game over.
House passes bill that would provide a pathway to citizenship for many undocumented immigrants
The Democratic-controlled House of Representatives passed a bill Tuesday that would provide a pathway to citizenship for more than one million undocumented immigrants, a move that comes amid a fierce debate over illegal immigration.
It passed 237-187. The chamber erupted in cheers of, "SÃ se puede," translated to, "Yes, we can."
While Democrats secured the bill's passage in the House, the measure is unlikely to become law anytime soon, particularly ahead of a presidential election. Even if it were to pass the Republican-controlled Senate, it'd still need to be signed by President Donald Trump who's sought to end these programs.
The vote comes nearly a month after the President introduced a plan to overhaul the nation's immigration system. White House senior adviser Jared Kushner worked on the proposal for months, but notably missing from it was a solution for recipients of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, which is included in the Democrats' legislation.
Tuesday's passage is a success for Democrats, particularly after a federal judge in Washington a day earlier denied a request by House Democrats to block Trump from transferring funds from appropriated accounts to construct his wall. The bill would also provide a greater sense of security to a large swath of undocumented immigrants whose fate has been tied up in the courts.

How dare they? How dare they do that? Makes me so angry.

It represents DEM votes. Its as simple as that. For the DEMS, illegal immigration has always been about increasing their voting base. By the sheer number of illegals eventually voting; that number will far exceed the number of GOP voters.

The stupid Republicans in the Senate may hop right on board the amnesty train... once again.
I hope Mr. Trump rejects this.

So dems passing a partisan bill in the House is a "success"? By that standard, it must have been a success every time repubs voted repeal of 0bamacare.
