It just doesnt make sense to me. It would not have happened some time ago. People would not have tried to force their will through on an important bill when they knew they didnt have the votes. If three votes on cloture dont show that. I dont know what really will. The Presiding Officer knows this as well as I do. But the root of the problem is that we have more than 11 million unauthorized immigrants in our country. and Congress only provides enough funding to deport around 400.000 people a year. Clearly we cant deport everybody. So choices have to be made.
