Senators will have expressed their determination on this score. notwithstanding the sincere view of both leaders. in fact. that will make even a greater impression and will show that Senators feel very keenly with respect to the motion to table. Finally. I ask my colleagues in the Senate. especially those interested in immigration. to ask themselves this question: Is this not all of a piece with the problem of enacting immigration legislation? We are told. "If you do not take this. there will be no hearings. If you do not take this. it will be withdrawn. If you do not take this. no bill will be passed at this session"--and so on. ad infinitum. Who controls Congress on the matter of immigration? Are we in control. or are our two committee chairmen? That is the question we must answer. Who is in control of immigration legislation? Are we over 21? Are we cats paws?
