IMMIGRATION - U.S. Senate Passes Reform Bill

Now we get to watch it die, or get gutted, in the psychotic Republican House.  Also note Boehner's comment, "The House is not going to take up and vote on whatever the Senate passes."  Notice the trend to treat the U.S. Senate as a 'monitory' branch of Congress, we don't need to pay attention to them.
