Take a look at the votes on an amendment to cap the number of guest worker permits at 650,000 per year.
You have conservative Republicans like Jim DeMint (SC), Rick Santorum (PA) and Jeff Sessions (AL) voting with liberal Democrats like Barbara Boxer (CA), Robert Byrd (WV), and Diane Feinstein (CA) along with liberal Independent Jim Jeffords (VT) to pass the amendment 51-47.
Those opposed to it include: Sam Brownback (R-KS), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Orin Hatch (R-UT), Bill Frist (R-TN) with Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ted Kennedy (D-MA), Hillary Clinton (D-NY) and Harry Reid (D-NV).
