But as the Senator from Illinois points out. let us at least permit a vote on this measure. Let us at least permit the Senate to speak. Let us get a short time period and have a debate on it. That is what we are prepared to do. We are not trying to say. well. we are not prepared to go through. even though we are being denied an opportunity to vote on the minimum wage. which has received Republican and Democratic support. We are not at this point saying. well. we are not going to play ball with you on immigration. We could certainly have done that. We believe that is an important measure.
