I am pleased to be able to respond to the Senator from Massachusetts. that was really the reason I wanted to come out. to address that very point. Obviously. there are some of our Republican friends who would like to make this current debate out to be a choice between having a vote on minimum wage or having a debate on minimum wage and having an opportunity to vote on immigration. That is a false choice. as the Senator knows. There is absolutely no desire on the part of our Democratic colleagues to hold up the vote on the very legitimate question of how we address more effectively illegal immigration in this country. That is the purpose of the bill. I have heard the Senator from Massachusetts say on several occasions we could complete work on that bill in a day and a half.
