C-span voting now on >>>>>>

foreclosed property rehabilitiation eligibilty of illegal immigrants......NOW

It6's bill 5918

I am trying to find it SoSad.

Psalm 91

SOSAD, I'm going to retype the caption banner on the screen to show how it reads:

Foreclosed Property Rehabilitation (<- eg. the "Housing Bill")
Eligibility of Illegal Immigrants (this might be in reference to a specific amendment being debated or offered to the overall Housing bill - don't know though...)

Remember, that this is in the House - where the Republican minority is much more vocal and active on the issue of illegal immigration overall.

398 Yeas the amendment was adopted almost 398 yeas and 30 + nays....what am I missing here and why did almost everyone vote to help illegals with foreclosed loans? it must be the other way around...


Sheeeez I wish they would be more specific!

Whatever amendment this was, just passed, but that doesn't always mean it's not in our favor.

Great thanks "Phred" i am not that great at covering c-span but thought it was important to bring to everyones attention.
I still get alittle confused at the process and for the life of me can not understand the vote that just took place.

Why would all these congressmen vote to aid illegals with their housing loans?

I think what the Rep. who is talking right now said is, that the amendment they just passed would stop the illegals from getting any of this money.

OK I believe this bill said loans for foreclosed homes of illlegals are not eligable under this bill?

Did you get that to Phred?

Is this it?
