E-Verify Out of Stimulus Package
Filed under: Economy, Immigration, International, Politics
The economy is saved! Ok maybe not, but the passing of the $787 billion stimulus package will hopefully start providing desperately needed movement. In the press I’ve been hearing a lot of Republicans whining that the bill wasn’t bipartisan, that they were basically railroaded. Interestingly, the Republican politicians responsible for heavy amendments to the bill didn’t even vote for it. Emptywheel breaks it down for us…
Tom Coburn, Chuck Grassley, and Susan Collins. They’re the ones responsible for the way this bill looks.
And fricking Coburn and Grassley won’t even have the decency to vote for their own handiwork. That’s the new definition of “bipartisan”: three Republicans screw with a bill, and in the end, only one of them even votes for it.
