Speech #1040198110

We are talking about a bill being rushed through here about antiterrorism. because we are all against terrorists. But I am willing to bet my farm in Middlesex. VT. you are not going to find 5 to 10 Senators in this body who have read every word of this conference report. In particular. my motion to recommit concerns profound changes to our asylum process that were not previously considered by the Senate in our deliberations on antiterrorism last year. The provisions I am objecting to have nothing to do with preventing terrorism. That is one reason why they were not in the antiterrorism bill that we considered and passed last summer.
