Immigration Reform Test Vote Set for Senate

Do they have the votes

|

The Senate is preparing for a crucial test vote on a measure boosting border security along the U.S.-Mexico border and opening the door to citizenship for millions.

Ahead of the vote set for Monday evening, around a dozen Republican lawmakers had already indicated support, setting up a solid bipartisan margin of victory within reach of the 70 votes supporters are hoping for. All 54 Senate Democrats are likely to vote yes.
