But this bill. and those like it. represent Congress at its noblest. This bill. my colleagues. is why we are here. We are here to solve problems before they become crises. and sure as we are sitting here today. if we do nothing. our immigration problem will explode into an immigration crisis. We are here to do what America needs. despite the intense lobbying of myriads of special interests. and for sure on this bill. the special interests were out to kill it. and yet up to this point Congress stood its ground. We are here finally to have the courage to stick our necks out and vote for an imperfect. easily criticized solution. but which we know in our hearts is far superior to doing nothing and continuing the deplorable status quo.
