Lets see how much time Harry wastes trying to ram this through

As it stands right now I believe he only has 50 votes on this.

He is obligated to the reconquistas in Nevada to at least bring it
to a vote

Meanwhile all he is doing is hurting his party by wasting away time they should be using for important business.

Harry reid is hurting this entire country. There are important things that need to be addressed for the benefit of the majority of Americans, taxes, the budget, the shut down of the government yet Harry Reid is paying back his illegal voters.

This bill could cost as much as 100 million dollars and there is no offset and no defined way to PAY for it!!!

We don't have another 100 million dollrs to spend on illegals, they take enough already. JMO

The Cspan-2 schedule shows General Speeches this morning, then break from 1230-3:30 So I would expect something after then....but nothing shows on the current schedule.
