The Senate voted for cloture, meaning that they voted to limit to debate over the bill and stopped the opportunity for a filibuster of the bill. Senators are going to vote on a number of pre-approved amendments to the bill, and they are planning on voting on the bill on Thursday. It is not known as yet whether it will pass the Senate.
The House Republicans however took a vote to signify unity that they would not vote for this bill as it is presently. Without a good number of Republican votes in the House this bill will die. Currently there is no where near the amount needed in votes in the House to pass this bill. If this bill goes to the House if it does not simply die....it will be completely changed...and then we begin the entire process all over again.

-- The Senate resurrected the immigration bill that could legalize millions of unlawful immigrants Tuesday, but the delicate compromise faces the same threats that derailed it earlier this month.---
The White House and Republican and Democratic architects of the bill hailed the crucial test vote that revived the legislation, and they predicted approval of the measure by week's end.
---
However the house has warned that they will reject the bill if approved by the senate, they should be discussing it this week along with the 20 amendments they came up with.

There working on it but don't worry because they are so narrow minded in the Senate that it will never be much of a bill. Besides, it will never get to the House. Consider it dead. Peace
