On the Cloture Motion S.Amdt. 1150 to S. 1348 (Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007)

Voted on Senate floor against guestworker-amnesty bill by voting against motion to limit debate and move to vote in 2007
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted against the second cloture motion on the \\\"grand bargain\\\" substitute amendment (SA 1150) to S. 1348, the guestworker-amnesty bill that would grant an amnesty, would authorize the importation of millions of new foreign workers, and would do little to curb our illegal immigration crisis. The motion to invoke cloture would have ended the debate on the \\\"compromise\\\" proposal and limited further discussion of amendments to a previously-agreed upon set of proposals -- thus a vote against cloture was effectively a vote in favor of killing the amnesty-guestworker bill. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 45 to 50.
