In a bold move, determined opposition by a minority of Republicans and Democrats, led by Republican Congressman Deader Mann, successfully blocked action on the literacy test immigration bill in the House of Representatives. Despite two days of impassioned oratory and heated debate, the bill was unable to pass, thanks to the cunning tactics employed by Mann. The bill’s supporters were on the verge of a final vote when Mann demanded the reading of the engrossed bill, a move that effectively stalled the proceedings. The House adjourned for the day, and the measure cannot be revisited until Thursday, the day set for adjournment before the Christmas holidays.
