Getting Uglier Conflict Over Illegal Aliens A Bad Omen Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) As I See It -- by Glenn Spencer Lou Dobbs Tonight -- CNN -- August 3, 2007     Sylvester: The explosion happened as the House was debating whether to prohibit illegal aliens from receiving welfare benefits. Deciding Democrat Michael McNulty ruled that the vote failed.     Even though when the gavel came down, the official tally showed otherwise: 215 in favor, 213 against. Democrats then accepted additional vote switches, changing the final tally to 216 against, 212 in favor. Republicans walked off the floor.     Rep. Mike Pence: Republicans won the vote to deny illegal immigrants welfare benefits, and the imperial Democrat majority changed the vote.     Rep. Brian Bilbray: There are people in this town that are willing to break the rules and do extraordinary maneuvers just so that illegal aliens can get benefits.  Watch House / Enforcement Transcript Past Features   Operation B.E.E.F.
