Washington ( CNN ) -- A prominent House conservative said Tuesday that the immigration reform bill under consideration in the Senate is part of an ongoing plot to build a massive new Democratic voting bloc . America 's growing Hispanic vote is `` a huge boon for Democrats . They have known that for a long time , '' said Rep. Steve King , R-Iowa . Their message has been that `` we are going to recruit all you folks . That we are going to give amnesty to ( you ) to become Democrats . '' Democratic leaders `` are in the process of seeking to establish another monolithic voting bloc , '' he said . Republicans backing the bipartisan Senate bill `` completely ignore that fact . '' King made his remarks at a Capitol Hill press conference with several other House conservatives taking aim at the `` Gang of Eight '' legislation drafted by four Senate Democrats and four Senate Republicans . Controversial immigration report may be right . The bill is winding its way through the Senate Judiciary Committee . Two committee Republicans from the `` Gang of Eight , '' Arizona 's Jeff Flake and South Carolina 's Lindsey Graham , have been working with the panel 's Democratic majority to prevent any major changes to the bill . Another House conservative at the press conference with King , Louisiana GOP Rep. John Fleming , noted the length of the proposal by the `` Gang of Eight , '' 844 pages . `` When in recent years have we passed such a large bill and had a good outcome ? '' Fleming asked . `` I 'll give you Obamacare and Dodd-Frank ( financial reform ) as good examples of that . I really think we need to tear this thing up and start from the beginning . '' Rep. Steve Stockman , R-Texas , said the `` Gang of Eight '' would be defeated by a `` gang of millions . '' `` They will rise up against ( the Senate bill ) and it will fail because the people are stronger than the 'Gang of Eight , ' '' Stockman said . Gay rights , immigration reform on collision course . A bipartisan group of House members has also been working on comprehensive reform legislation . So far , however , they have not presented any broad-based agreement . Backers of the `` Gang of Eight '' legislation are hoping to ultimately win as many as 70 votes in the 100-member Senate to give the legislation serious momentum heading into the more conservative House . The `` Gang of Eight '' blueprint would create a 13-year path to citizenship for the bulk of America 's 11 million undocumented immigrants while bringing significant change to labor policy on the country 's farms . The bill commits additional resources to security along the Mexican border and creates a new system of metrics to measure border control effectiveness . Critics , however , say the plan is full of holes and translates to amnesty for those who broke the country 's immigration laws . Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee met Tuesday for a second day of debate and votes on proposed amendments to the plan . Among other things , the panel rejected proposals to tighten future immigration caps and force the creation of a biometric visa identification system before granting permanent legal status to undocumented residents . The two amendments were offered by Sen. Jeff Sessions , R-Alabama , who has emerged as the Senate 's leading opponent to the `` Gang of Eight . '' Tackling border security in immigration bill .
