2004: Judiciary Comm vote on Conyers Substitute amdt to HR 10,eliminate imm provisions

Voted in committee against amendment to effectively strip immigration reforms from H.R. 10 in 2004
Rep. ZZlastnameZZ voted against the Conyers Amendment to H.R. 10, the 9/11 Recommendations Implementation Act. The Conyers Amendment would have substituted the language of S. 2845, the National Intelligence Reform Act of 2004, for the language of H.R. 10. S. 2845 is the Senate bill responding to the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission, but it contains no effective immigration provisions. Thus, the Conyers Amendment would have effectively stripped all of the immigration reforms of H.R. 10 from the bill. The Conyers Amendment failed by a vote of 15 to 20.
