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
ns to sponsor
their partners, said Ty Cobb, an attorney and lobbyist with the Human
Rights Campaign, a gay rights group. Another Democratic senator, Al Franken
of Minnesota, pledged in a Judiciary hearing on the bill Monday to
do "everything we can" to adjust the bill.But even if the amendment
makes it through the Senate, it faces a tougher path if and
when the bill moves to the Republican-controlled House. GOP leaders there
have been defending the Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage
as between a man and a woman, though Obama has said it
is unconstitutional. And while Obama supports same-sex marriage, his administration
has shown little appetite for forcing the issue while the immigration overhaul's
prospects are still shaky."No one will get everything they want from it,
including the president. That's the nature of compromise. But the bill is
largely consistent with the principles he has laid out repeatedly," Obama
spokesman Jay Carney said last week. A White House spokesman declined to
answer further questions about the issue.Some Democrats argue privately
that with the Supreme Court poised to rule on the constitutionality of
the Defense of Marriage Act, which prohibits the government from giving
federal marriage benefits to gay couples, the issue could soon be moot.
Still, even if the high court strikes the law down, it would
only bring partial relief; only couples married in the nine states that
recognize gay marriages
