If our Republican colleagues are prepared right now. this afternoon. to say that throughout the rest of the 104th Congress they will never offer an irrelevant amendment to any bill because doing so would somehow indicate that they do not want a bill to pass or they are going to hold the bill hostage. we might be prepared to talk about that. But everyone knows that is not what this is all about. There are some here who do not want to deal with the issues that we are attempting to address in these amendments. So I do not think there ought to be any misunderstanding or obfuscation of the question. The question is. Do we support passage of an illegal immigration bill? The answer is not only yes. but emphatically yes. Do we support timeframes within which every amendment could be considered?
