Beaten and Bitter, Bob Inglis Votes for Amnesty

Congressman Bob Inglis, along with seven other Republicans, joined Democrats in the lame-duck session of Congress to pass the DREAM Act amnesty bill last night in a vote of 216-198.

Republicans voting for amnesty were:

DELAWARE - Castle
FLORIDA - L. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - M. Diaz-Balart
FLORIDA - Ros-Lehtinen
HAWAII - Djou
LOUISIANA - Cao
MICHIGAN - Ehlers
SOUTH CAROLINA - Inglis  

Thirty-eight Democrats voted against amnesty, and 20 members failed to vote.

The legislation will now be taken up by the Senate, where there will be a cloture vote.  If fewer than 60 of the 100 Senators vote for cloture, so that debate on the legislation can begin, the amnesty bill will be dead.  A vote is expected as early as this morning.

Please call the Senate at 202-224-3121, ask for your Senators, and urge them to vote NO on the DREAM Act.
