WASHINGTON – Congressman Steve Stockman today announced Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is refusing to transmit to the House an amnesty bill which passed the Senate two weeks ago, fearing it will be returned to the Senate on a “blue slip” resolution. Stockman had promised to seek to automatically kill the Senate amnesty bill through the use of a blue slip resolution. “Even Harry Reid now admits the Senate’s amnesty bill is unconstitutional and cannot become law. Any bill that raises revenue must start in the House” said Stockman. “By creating their own amnesty taxes Senate Democrats broke the rules. Senate Democrats were so hell-bent on ramming through a gift to radical political activists they didn’t bother to check if it was even legal.”
