The Democrat-controlled Senate rejected Cruz\u2019s point of order by a vote of 22-74.\r\n\u201cAny attempt to circumvent Congress and grant amnesty to millions in this country illegally is unacceptable and unconstitutional,\u201d Isakson said. \u201cThe president continues to circumvent Congress by executive action, and I am appalled that he is doing it once again with immigration.\u201d\r\nIsakson also voted tonight for a government funding bill that gives the Department of Homeland Security, which funds immigration, only enough funding to operate until February 2015. That will allow the new Republican majority to revisit the agency\u2019s budget in February and begin the process of de-funding and dismantling the amnesty executive order.\r\n# # #", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.isakson.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ContentRecord_id=e0ae55a9-c6ce-42fd-9783-bcdf642940ab"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.470730872824788, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
