Is the Senate's immigration bill unconstitutional?

Not that the constitution really matters to the Senate, but:

The Constitution mandates that all bills regarding the raising of revenue must originate in the House. The Senate, in proposing that illegal aliens pay (only) three years' back taxes as part of a legalization program, may have improperly invaded legislative territory that belongs to the House.

Over the last few months, I have been examining websites and news footage daily to produce an internet video concerning illegal immigration. Although each website states we need to get involved with this issue, none have presented a solution to the problem (besides call your governor or vote in the November Election). These are not real solutions. How often have we heard United States citizens complain about our electoral system? How long did it take our government to decide George W. Bush won his first election? How long did it take for many to give up their fight after the Supreme Court ruled him as victor. The reason for this question is no citizen knows exactly what happened during this election. We only have the information our government has allowed us to view. For many United States citizens an election is not the answer to this problem. For many there is no answer that defines them as true United States citizens. However, I have an idea that might make Big Business and the United States Government think twice about allowing full amnesty to illegal Aliens.
What if every United States citizen took this protest to a level where everybody can feel the burden? What would happen if we organized a month long strike against politicians, against Big Business, and against the sole-beneficiaries of the illegal immigration issue? I know this idea may sound crazy and somewhat anarchy but please hear me out before you delete this message.
In the 1930

you do know if people would stand up with real reason and guns in hand all this would disappear over night, and yes some would be killed but within one year, "We The People", would be ruling this nation once more and the rats would be on trees! OR IN PRISON FOR LIFE. Think about it people, you can do the right thing and become a nation under laws once more, but you will never do it the easy way, so sad.

Good God yes but at this point anything this low life non government is doing is unconstitutional and this government cares nothing about laws, after all so many are not Americans its a joke. by the way, the bill of rights is next. ask how long about the flag is removed for race reasons?

the constitution calls for uniform naturalization laws. we haven't had those in years. consider the cuban wet foot/ dry foot ridiculousness. that is just one of many examples. the congress hasn't obeyed ( or even read, probably) the constitution in years.

That a clearly unconstitutional bill was thoughtlessly passed by the US Senate indicates a breathtaking level of incompetence.

Also take note that Dems are still using the obviously dead felony provision in the House bill to excite the dull-witted. Earlier it was the focus of outrage for the mass rallies of illegal immigrants, Hispanic racialists and leftist crackpots.

This whole debate is a joke. Since all bills go through conference, it really doesn't matter who proposes what.

Who expects a larcenous gang of thieves/call girls to care about the Constitution? We know the exceptions(such as Sessenbrenner and Tancredo) because the hookers are always calling them "racist" and "xenophobic" "nativists".
