The US Senate on Thursday soundly voted down President Donald Trumps immigration proposal, leaving Congress with no viable plan for shielding "Dreamer" immigrants from deportation once their protections expire beginning March 5.
At least 14 Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure, which crashed to defeat 39 to 60 despite the president warning he would veto any plan that did not meet his criteria, which included major curbs on legal immigration in addition to border security and protections for Dreamers.
