Senate gives in to protesters with new immigration bill

Illegal aliens can declare victory with the new immigration bill:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate Judiciary Committee approved sweeping election-year legislation Monday that clears the way for 11 million illegal aliens to seek U.S. citizenship, a victory for demonstrators who had spilled into the streets by the hundreds of thousands demanding better treatment for immigrants.

With a bipartisan coalition in control, the committee also voted down proposed criminal penalties on immigrants found to be in the country illegally. It approved a new temporary program allowing entry for 1.5 million workers seeking jobs in the agriculture industry.

Conservatives have all but given up on the left-leaning republicans. I guess the incumbent repubs know conservatives have no place to go.
