Gang of Eight members vote against amendment securing borders before amnesty

What about this, Marco?
Townhall: An amendment submitted by Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley requiring the security of the Nation's borders before granting amnesty to more than 11 million illegal immigrants, has been voted down by the Senate Judiciary Committee 6-12. Every Democrat on the Committee voted against the amendment.

The amendment:
Purpose: To prohibit the granting of registered provisional immigrant status until the Secretary has maintained effective control of the borders for 6 months and to apply border security strategies to all border sectors.
Gang of Eight Republican Sens. Jeff Flake and Lindsey Graham sit on the Committee and voted against the amendment. Democratic Sens. Dick Durbin and Chuck Schumer, also Gang of Eight and Committee members, voted against the amendment.
...and then I'll likely hear Rubio's damn radio ad on the drive home pushing this POS. Sorry, but there's nothing conservative about rewarding millions of lawbreakers while doing absolutely nothing to secure our national sovereignty. And that applies to the grinning schmucks above as well. Fools.
