Immigration bill faces tough path in full Senate
The lobbyist for NumbersUSA, which opposes the bill, said she believes it will be defeated. The group is running TV ads nationwide saying the legislation would hurt U.S. citizens and legal residents at a time when 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed.
"I think the bill is in serious trouble," said Rosemary Jenks, government relations director for NumbersUSA, which opposes increased immigration. "I don't think they have the 60 votes (needed to fend off a conservative filibuster). They are not going to get all 55 Democrats, especially the ones from red states. And I don't see them getting enough Republicans to make it to 60."
