With Amendments, Senate
immigration bill soars pass 1,000 pages
After two weeks of
amendments, S. 744, the bipartisan immigration reform bill voted out of the
Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday night, is now more than 1,000 pages long,
according to a committee aide. When the bill was first submitted to the Senate,
it was just 844 pages.
The bill is far more liberal
than when it was first introduced. Of the 81 Democratic amendments offered, 80
were accepted, and just one was rejected.
The pro-amnesty Republicans
on the committee — Jeff Flake of Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina
and Orrin Hatch of Utah — submitted 15 amendments, and all 15 were
adopted.
Meanwhile, the pro-border
security Republicans on the committee had 49 of their amendments rejected.
