Reid blocks bipartisan amendment requiring citizenship verification for stimulus recipients By Michelle Malkin February 8, 2009 10:28 PM GOP Sen. Jeff Sessions and Democrat Sen. Ben Nelson attempted several times to bring their bipartisan amendment to the floor last week. SA 239 would require local governments and businesses that receive porkulus money to use the federal E-Verify citizenship check system. On the House side, a long term extension of the E-Verify program passed there 407-2 (Conservative Oasis). But Democrat Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid refused to allow it to come to the floor. Now, we’re headed for cloture. “While it is difficult to believe that Senate leaders might insist that illegal aliens have the same chance at new stimulus jobs as unemployed Americans, this scenario may now be at hand,” says Roy Beck of Numbers USA. “SA 239 is now unlikely to receive a floor vote.” The provision is not included in the Sellout Substitute Amendment forged by the Turncoat Caucus and the Democrats. Who’s Dingy Harry looking out for? “Undocumented Americans,” of course. michellemalkin.com
