So like... I'm not sure why I should punish a kid who came over when they were too young to decide for themselves, grow up thinking they are American, go to school, keep a clean record... we don't want these people being citizens?

An act that would have given U.S. residency to certain students and military hopefuls who are in the country illegally died today in the Senate.

Senators voted 56 to 43 for the bill, falling short of the 60 votes needed to bring it to the floor.
