Supporters score victories in early votes on immigration amendments

Today in Washington the Senate rejected a change in the immigration bill that will barred illegal immigrants from being legal residents, on the way towards citizenship. In other news the Senate also defeated another amendment that would make illegal people in this country to return to their home country and re-enter the country in a legal way.

The voting will also take place on Thursday morning when the Senate will see whether there are 60 votes to end the debate. Senators voted 53-45 to defeat a measure by Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas) that would send all adult immigrants to return home within the two years of there "Z Visa".

In the end Senate is still debating weather or not to pass the law and to see if they have the sufficient amount of votes in order to pass the new immigration laws.

I think that there has been too much controversy on this immigrant debate. They should just allow immigrants to be here only if they become citizens. Otherwise they should be kicked out just because they don't want to be an Ameriacan citizen.
