Another Victory in Senate as Hagel/Martinez Amnesty Loses


The Hagel/Martinez amnesty amendment was defeated this morning in the Senate. The vote to close debate on the amendment failed 36-62. Vote total. The Hagel/Martinez amendment offered amnesty for almost all of the illegal aliens living in the U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist had worked out the compromise with a limited group of senators through yesterday, but as more learned what the proposed legislation contained, they would not support it.
