For the 2-15-18 voterama on the four immigration proposals produced by the Senate, none of them produced a winning combination of 60 votes to ensure passage in the Senate chamber.

Of the immigration proposals that were up for a vote, only the Charles Grassley bill had explicit White House backing. It failed 39-60 in the Senate on Thursday.

The other proposals did not end up in much better situations either. The anti sanctuary city bill only received 54 votes, as did the heavily Democrat backed measure from Charles Schumer and several amnesty only Republicans, labeled the “Common Sense Group” by the out of touch America hating Senators involved.

John McCain, was not present for any of the votes and has not been back serving since Congress unofficially adjourned (as they still refuse to ‘officially adjourn’ to prevent President Trump from making recess appointments) for the Christmas holiday break. Yet, he was able to “author” a piece of legislation with Democrat Chris Coons of Delaware that would have granted amnesty to double the requested amount in the Trump White House backed legislation (3 Million) and provided billions for “border security” with explicit denial of funding for any border wall projects.

It also failed with a 52-47 vote.

As stated previously, the final and (least horrible) measure, the only one that would have not been vetoed by the White House, received a 39-60 vote in the Senate. Notable Republican members voting against it:

Barrasso (R-WY) – Business Controlled Republican

Collins (R-ME) – a Planned Parenthood Democrat in all but label.

Cruz (R-TX) – Supported a massive amnesty measure in 2013, now is against amnesty because “Trump,” voted his “conscience” today.

Daines (R-MT) – Business Controlled Republican

Enzi (R-WY) – Business Controlled Republican

Flake (R-AZ) – massive amnesty proponent, hates Americans, does not want officials using the legal term “illegal aliens.”

Inhofe (R-OK) – Anti-Amnesty Republican

Kennedy (R-LA) – Business controlled Republican

Lee (R-UT) – Business Controlled Republican

Moran (R-KS) – Business Controlled Republican

Murkowski (R-AK) – Second Planned Parenthood Democrat in all but label, ran as an independent write in to thwart conservatives in Alaska with the subtle backing of Senate Republican leadership

Paul (R-KY) – constant backstabber of President Trump, massive amnesty proponent

Sasse (R-NE) – constant backstabber of President Trump, massive amnesty proponent, defended child sex abusers in Congressional leadership

Thune (R-SD) – fake conservative who’s only claim to fame is defeating Tom Daschle and quickly ingratiating himself into the swamp leadership

Alexander, Gardner, Graham, Isakson, and Rounds only voted for the measure once it was clear that it was going to fail, after voting for the horrible amnesty bills proffered up by Democrats earlier Thursday.

The most disgraceful votes came from Senator Corey Gardner of Colorado, who chairs the Senate Republicans 2018 election campaign, when he backed the Democrat amnesty bills in the chamber and then held back his vote (in case he was needed to kill the White House backed Grassley amendment) until the Grassley amendment was clearly failing to achieve the 60 votes needed to pass cloture.

This is also the same Republican who backed throwing out Roy Moore should Alabama voters decided to give him the seat vacated by swamp controlled Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

Newly elected Senator Doug Jones, backed by Senate Republican leadership, voted against all Republican measures and supported every amnesty proposal offered by the Democrats.
