But I do believe that we are entitled to a determination of what the will of the Senate is on that particular issue. So. we are caught in this situation where we effectively are being denied that. But we are still asked to go ahead and consider some of the measures on the immigration bill. On the one hand. they are saying. look. why are we not Just going ahead on the immigration bill and trying to move ahead? And on the other hand. we are asking. at leastwe are quite prepared to move ahead on immigration. but at some time. somewhere. somehow. we ought to be permitted to get a time where We can address this question of the minimum wage. None of us were denied the opportunity to make some progress this morning on some of these measures. But at some time we have to ask ourselves. when and who Is going to speak for those Americans and American families that are on the bottom rung of the economic ladder and speak for them to make sure that their economic interests are attended to?
