The vote in the Senate immigration reform illustrates the Republican divisions

The series of immigration reform in the United States has spent a significant milestone Thursday, June 27 with the vote by the Senate Bill which provides for the adjustment of the 11 million illegal aliens, a measure under discussion since 2006.

The vote was obtained by 68 against 32, an exceptional score in a Congress where, as Obama said, "there is even a majority to baptize a post office." Fourteen Republicans voted in favor, 32 against, illustrating the deep divisions that still exist in the conservative movement on the issue of immigration.

As far as the amount of the fine to be imposed on undocumented (500 dollars), the Republicans have debated the question of whether the party is sinking into a "spiral of population death" in opposing reform as stated by Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, or whether it "saves his soul," his colleague Jeff Sessions of Alabama.

"A SPIRAL OF THE POPULATION DEATH"

In 1986, the Reagan administration had regularized 3 million immigrants without first ensure an airtight closure of the border with Mexico. To convince their colleagues that the Congress will not make the same "mistake", the "Gang of Eight" - four Democrats and four Republicans senators negotiating since the aftermath of the presidential election of November 2012 - proposed a tightening of the original text.

According to the draft, which was adopted, the border must be secured using drones, electronic sensors and gates, an alloy very similar to that of 2006, including the construction of a wall 1,125 miles of Mexican border. But the text also adds what has been called "surge" (the term used for sending reinforcements to Iraq): 20 000 additional border guards at a cost of $ 40 billion to the taxpayer.

All senators were present for the vote, and is Vice President Joe Biden - also president of the Senate - who read the count to emphasize the solemnity of the moment. The prospects are not less obscure to the House of Representatives to adopt the text in identical terms for it to be submitted to the President for promulgation.

Without even waiting for the final vote, the Republican leader in the House, John Boehner, reiterated that he did not intend to submit the text of Senate colleagues. Representatives intend to develop "their own bill," he said. Mr. Boehner will not even try to pass a text with Democratic votes. He insists the prior approval of a majority of Republicans (who are 234 of 435 deputies).

FINISH WORK

Representatives, who are subject to re-election every two years, have substantially different from those of senators, whose term is six years interest. If the Latino vote has become crucial for the presidential election - in 2012, Mitt Romney registered 44 points behind Barack Obama among Hispanic - it does not hold true in many districts often tailored to favor the redistricting.

According to Mr. Boehner, the House prefers to work on specific measures rather than enter the thousand pages of the text adopted by the Senate. If he wanted to play the shows, the speaker of the House to go about it. The meeting will have time to consider the text in depth before the parliamentary recess and fall begins the "cycle" Election 2014. The Republicans will nominate their candidates. The primaries are a period not conducive to compromise.

The Senate vote puts an end to a debate that saw the contenders for the Republican nomination position. The junior senator from Florida, and "Hope" Latino, Marco Rubio, has sided regularization. Unlike the Texan Ted Cruz, who, he disputes the Latino leadership and made a big splash in the Senate in 2012.

Barack Obama, from Dakar, welcomed the Senate vote, while hoping that representatives round off the company. "We are a nation of laws and immigrants, he said. Just need Congress to finish the job." Since his re-election, Obama played the bully pulpit ("forum" in French) on the subject of immigration. But success owes more to the Senate Republicans "Gang of Eight" the President, that does not stop - it's fair enough - for complacency.
