发帖数: 477 | 1 Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the third-ranking senator in the Democratic
leadership, voices confidence in Holder and says immigration reform is on
track.
Schumer said, “We’re going to put immigration on the (Senate) floor
starting on June 10. I predict it will pass the Senate by July 4. We are
hoping to get 70 votes, up to 70 votes, which means a lot of Republicans.
And we’re willing to entertain amendments that don’t damage the core
principles of the bill, but improve the bill – just as we did in (the
Judiciary) committee.”
When the bill goes to the House, Schumer said, “If we can come out of the
Senate with close to a majority of the Republican senators and almost every
Democrat, that may change the equation in the House and the thinking in the
House among mainstream Republicans, and they may want to go for our bill.” |
