Frustrated at being left out of an immigration overhaul, gay rights groups
are pushing to adjust a bipartisan Senate bill to include gay couples.
But Democrats are treading carefully, wary of adding another divisive issue
that could lose Republican support and jeopardize the entire bill.Both parties
want the bill to succeed. Merely getting to agreement on the basic
framework for the immigration overhaul, which would create a long and costly
path to citizenship for the estimated 11 million people in the U.S.
illegally, was no small feat for senators. And getting it through a
divided Congress is still far from a done deal.Even so, gay rights
groups, their lobbyists and grass-roots supporters are insisting the deal
shouldn't exclude bi-national, same-sex couples -- about 28,500 of them,
according to a 2011 study from the Williams Institute at UCLA Law.
They're ramping up a campaign to change the bill to allow gay
Americans to sponsor their partners for green cards, the same way straight
Americans can. Supporters trekked to the Capitol to make their case at
senators' offices on Wednesday."Opponents will be proposing amendments that,
if passed, could collapse this very fragile coalition that we've been able
to achieve," Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican, said last week at
the unveiling of the bill. He said the eight senators from both
parties who crafted the legislation are committed to voting against changes
that could kill it.For Dem
Top-ranking lawmakers on both sides of the aisle declared Thursday that
the "red line" in Syria has been crossed, calling for "strong" U.S.
and international intervention after administration officials revealed the
intelligence community believes chemical weapons were used.Sen. John McCain,
R-Ariz., and Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairwoman of the Senate intelligence
committee, were among those urging swift action.McCain, who has long called
for more involvement in Syria, voiced concern that the administration would
use "caveats" to avoid acting on the new intelligence. He said America's
enemies are paying "close attention" to whether the U.S. follows through,
as the White House signaled it wanted to see more proof before
responding to the new information."I worry that the president and the administration
will use these caveats as an excuse not to act right away
or act at all," McCain told Fox News. "The president clearly stated
that it was a red line and that it couldn't be crossed
without the United States taking vigorous action."He called for the U.S.
to help establish a no-fly zone and "safe zone" in Syria, as
well as provide weapons to the "right people."Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel
first revealed the intelligence assessment, which was detailed in a letter
to select members of Congress, while speaking to reporters on a visit
to Abu Dhabi. The administration then released those letters, which said
U.S. intelligence determined
