Many of these Democrats are also the ones to watch on ObamaCare and the National Energy Tax. They may be the folks who save America from Socialism.

From Numbers USA.

After several defeated efforts, Sen. Sessions (R-Ala.) finally won over a majority of his colleagues this morning. They agreed with him that illegal aliens should not get jobs created with federal tax dollars.


In March, the Sessions E-Verify amendment was killed by tabling in a 50-47 vote. But this morning, the tabling motion failed 44-53. (The amendment then passed on voice vote.)

12 Democrats and 1 Independent defied Party leadership and voted with all 40 Republicans to:

* permanently authorize E-Verify, so the pro-amnesty forces can't constantly threaten to kill it if they don't get their way

* require all federal contractors to use E-Verify so returning veterans and other unemployed Americans will get jobs created with federal tax money.

7 SENATORS WHO SWITCHED TO THE GOOD SIDE TODAY

E-Verify won today because these Senators -- who voted to kill the E-Verify mandate in March -- switched today and voted for using E-Verify to keep illegal aliens out of federal contractor jobs.

* Kent Conrad (D-N.D.)
* Bryan Dorgan (D-N.D.)
* Mary Landrieu (D-La.)
* Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.)
* Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.)
* Mark Pryor (D-Ark.)
* John Rockefeller (D-W.Va.)

All of you who live in those states -- especially North Dakota and Arkansas -- take a bow. Thanks for all you have done to help these Senators see the error of their March vote.

6 OTHER DEMOCRATS WHO VOTED TO HIRE AMERICANS

We have to give special thanks to the Democrats who stood with us and unemployed Americans today, because they had to defy their Party leadership to do it.

These Democrats voted for mandating E-Verify both today and back in March:

* Max Baucus (D-Mont.)
* Kay Hagan (D-N.C.)
* Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)
* Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)
* Ben Nelson (D-Neb.)
* John Tester (D-Mont.)

If 10 of these 13 Senators continue to put American workers first in their voting, they spell absolute doom for plans to legalize 12-20 million illegal aliens with an amnesty.

Earlier today, we noted that Sen. Jim DeMint's Amendment requiring that the border fence be completed by the end of next year passed the full Senate by a lopsided 54-44 vote.

Democrat Kent Conrad (on the above list of those who voted to make E-Verify permanent) noted yesterday that the proposal to tax employee health benefits, the primary source of funds for ObamaCare, looks dead. Blanche Lincoln (D. Ark.) and many other Democrats (most of whom are also on the above list) are dead-set against the Public Option in ObamaCare. Mary Landrieu (D. La.) looks like a no on the National Energy Tax.

Sometimes, on rare occasions, one can learn to love Democrats, even if it turns out to be a one (or two) night stand. After all, if they save America from Socialism, they can't be all bad.
