The amendment that the Senate refused to table, by a 52-45 vote, would have deleted requirements that by 2013 employers insist upon an identification card that meets the specifications of the 2005 Real ID Act. That law gives states financial incentives to require a tamper-proof driver's license.
You have to ask yourself, why in the hell would they offer this amendment up in the first place? We here all these stories about how "evil" businesses are the reason that illegals come here and yet the very same people hollaring are those trying to make sure it can continue?
Sorry, get those who employ and house them. If you house or employ without proof of legal citizenship you should be toast.
*** EDIT
The bipartisan coalition that had shepherded the measure through so many obstacles failed to get the 60 votes necessary to end debate. The final vote was 46-53
?What part of ?no? don?t we understand?,? asked Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.), who said the immigration fight had ?reengaged the American people.?
maybe they are getting the hint, I didn't think many Democratic voters supported either, but I would not be surprised if a number of their Congressmen ignored them like some of the Republican Congressmen ignore their voters
