On the Cloture Motion S. 2205

Voted against rewarding illegal aliens with amnesty in 2007
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted against a motion to invoke cloture on S. 2205, The \"Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act of 2007.\" The DREAM Act amnesty would not just offer U.S. citizenship to illegal alien teenagers, it also would provide amnesty to the parents of most of them. An analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies found that the DREAM Act would offer amnesty to 2.1 million illegal aliens (Once the amnestied teens become citizens they can obtain an amnesty for their parents. The motion to invoke cloture failed by a vote of 52 to 44 (60 YES votes were needed for cloture to pass and to prevent a filibuster).
