Immigration Reform Bill moves ahead with Senate vote, passing 68-32

The Senate on Thursday approved the most significant overhaul of the nation’s immigration laws since the Reagan administration by a large martin. 

With a strong 68-to-32 vote in the Senate, the issue now moves into the House, where the Republican leadership has said that it will not take up the Senate measure and is instead focused on much narrower legislation that would not provide a path to citizenship for the 11 million unauthorized immigrants in the country.

After a passionate speech on the Senate floor, Marco Rubio was surrounded by colleagues saying how proud they are of him. (more here)

Party leaders hope that the Senate action will put pressure on the House.
