After several defeated efforts, Sen. Sessions (R-Ala.) finally won over a majority of his colleagues this morning. They agreed with him that illegal aliens should not get jobs created with federal tax dollars.
In March, the Sessions E-Verify amendment was killed by tabling in a 50-47 vote. But this morning, the tabling motion failed 44-53. (The amendment then passed on voice vote.)
12 Democrats and 1 Independent defied Party leadership and voted with all 40 Republicans to:
- permanently authorize E-Verify, so the pro-amnesty forces can't constantly threaten to kill it if they don't get their way
- require all federal contractors to use E-Verify so returning veterans and other unemployed Americans will get jobs created with federal tax money.
