Re: Ain't American Politics Great?!
No, it's not a full 3 for 3 because the GOP can't force cloture (they need 60) nor does either chamber have overriding majority (two-thirds: 291 in the House, 67 in the Senate) which is needed to start Amending. Knowing this, the Dems are using immigration as a hot-buttin make-or-break issue to force a concession. And it happens to be an issue that hits the core of both parties' constituents: causing lots of hand-wringing.
