The U.S. Senate voted 53 to 45 to kill the amendment to bill S.1639 that called for illegal immigrants to return to their home countries before obtaining temporary or permanent legal status. This vote eliminated the "touchback requirement" entirely from the bill.
Also dead is the amendment that only illegal immigrants who have been in the country for at least four years may become eligible for legal standing. That vote's tally came in at 79 to 18.
