Fog of Scandal: Senate Dems Trying to Rush Amnesty Bill to Floor, Sources Say

by on May 21, 2013

Senate staffers told Breitbart News that Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT) and “Gang of Eight” members appear to be attempting to use the cover of multiple scandals hitting the Obama administration to rush the proposed immigration reform bill out of committee and onto the Senate floor.

On Monday night, the Judiciary Committee worked on a markup until around 10 p.m. One Senate staffer close to the process told Breitbart News that “the expectation is that they will pull an all night session on Tuesday and try to pass the bill out of committee tomorrow.”
Another staffer, a Republican Senate aide, told Breitbart News that this is indicative of the the Gang of Eight push to pass this bill as fast as they can to minimize public scrutiny. “There is a relentless drive to push this bill through at any cost because it’s backers know that once the American people find out what’s in it they will rise up against it,” the aide said.
The bill is expected to eventually make it out of committee, but thus far it is unclear if it would pass the entire U.S. Senate.

    Maybe nobody will notice with all the scandals going on. NOT!

    ALL Republicans that support it go on the do not return list.

      Absolutely – the Immigration Reform is for two purposes only…

      One is to ensure that there will be an amnesty shortly down the road granted by Obama, and thus guarantee millions of new voters for the Democrats, and millions of new people dependent on the Federal government.

      The second reason, if it fails, is so they can blame the Republicans and play up the race card.
