We ought to be about those measures and trying to close down some of the tax loopholes that give preferences to moving Jobs overseas. and bring good jobs back to the United States. Those are the things people are talking about. Instead. we had a pause even in the immigration bill to go on to the question of term limits. Then. once again. they filled up that tree so it was not making anything retroactive. moving the procedures of the Senate. Jamming the various procedural parts of Senate rules. so that we were going to be denied an opportunity to address those measures. So. Mr. President. it is important that even though we will come back at 5 oclock to address the questions of illegal immigration. let us understand what this filibuster is about. It is a filibuster against the increase in the minimum wage. That is what the issue is.
