NumbersUSA reports that
The Senate will vote on the Schumer-Rubio-Obama Amnesty bill on Tuesday, June 11th at 2:15 p.m.
The bill can be killed with this first vote if it doesn't get 60 YES votes.There has been plenty of debate about this bill or the plans for this bill since January. After the Judiciary Committee made it clear that this bill will provide amnesty/work permits to 11 million illegal aliens before any new enforcement -- and will issue 33 million work permits to foreign citizens over the first ten years -- there is no need for more debate to know it is time to just kill the bill.
Details on the bill in a PDF file here.

Ohioans Are Against the
Senate's Amnesty Bill
Brown and Portman Must Respect the Will of the People
(Washington,
D.C. June 7, 2013) A statewide poll of likely Ohio voters
finds strong opposition to a bill before the U.S. Senate that would grant
amnesty to 12 million illegal aliens and dramatically increase overall
immigration to the United States. According to the
poll, 56 percent of Ohio voters oppose S.744, the Gang of Eight
immigration bill - including 38 percent who said they are "strongly
opposed." Click Here to See the Poll.
Rep. Labrador has
left the Amnesty Gang of Eight due to his concern over the taxpayers having to
foot the health care bill of illegal immigrants. Read More
Call Senators Portman and Brown and tell them they were elected
to respect and represent the will of the people.

There was some good news yesterday (Thurs.), reported at
National Review online:
The House of Representatives voted 224–201 Thursday morning to deny funding for the Obama administration’s controversial Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. The policy, which was implemented via executive order in June 2012, effectively assumes the enactment of the DREAM Act, legislation that has failed to pass Congress on multiple occasions, and has raised concerns about executive overreach.
It’s a start.
