I fail to see. To suggest. Mr. President. that now is not the time to debate immigration reform in Congress will not ring. that the mood is too restrictive. that it brings out the dark side in our country. will not ring. For 8 years we have been grappling with this issue. Any fair immigration law cannot be accomplished in such an atmosphere. So. as I say. I am totally puzzled. but not at all surprised. Spirited debate in 3 years. but it will not wash. It will not wash. The Senator from Massachusetts supported this measure in the subcommittee.
