Speech #980213609

For an example. those of us who oppose this legislation for whatever reason. have been branded as obstructionists. We are not here to be obstructionists of this legislation. We just disagree and we disagree on one important point and that is that this is not immigration reform. I firmly believe that it is not. that it has too many other extraneous matters in the bill. matters that have nothing to do with immigration. And because that is my belief and because I or anyone gets up to oppose or favor any particular amendment. is no reason for anyone to say that we are obstructionists. The same thing is true of those individuals on the other side of the aisle and who may be in favor of this bill.
