That bill ought to get out of the Senate soon. I will likely vote for it. Then I hope we can turn to immigration and deal with some of these issues. I have watched what has happened in the Senate now for some long time. and I do not want people coming to the floor of the Senate and saying. well. we offer all of our amendments. any amendment. any time we want on any bill we want. but if you offer an amendment on minimum wage here. somehow you are playing politics. That is not the way the Senate works. If one side is able to use legislation to advance the policies they want to advance. then the other side is going to do the same thing. and it ought not be a surprise to anybody. I just do not like to see stories in which we are told that somehow somebody yesterday was holding an immigration bill hostage. Both amendments that were to be offered to the immigration bill would have been subject to. and the authors of both amendments had said that they would agree to. very short time agreements. Nobody was holding anything hostage. People ought to know that.
