I warned her but she went forward anyway, who'll join me in voting her out ?
Hutchison said the change would "send the major message ... that you cannot come to our country and stay illegally and eventually get regularized without ever having to apply -- according to the law -- from your home country."
But opponents of the amendment said the so-called "touchback" requirement would render the program largely useless.
"What immigrant is going to show up and register for a program if he has to take his chances on leaving the country and coming back in before he gets some kind of immigration status?" said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California. "What immigrant is going to report to deport?"
In the end, the Hutchison amendment was tabled on a 53-45 vote.
Answer:
She voted against cloture today, so I am tentatively in favor of her, but think she would have voted the other way had she been under less pressure. A more secure anti vote would be better. However, I doubt that is the choice people will be presented with, and at least so far she is responsive.
I'm from Texas & I agree that Kay Bailey Hutchison has been in the Senate way too long. She, like so many others, gets her marching orders from the White House & Lobby firms in DC. She lost touch with those she proports to represent so many years ago that she can't remember what they are like or even where they live.
