We cannot leave this floor without explaining to the American people why it is that a Republican Governor of Texas. two Republican Senators from Texas. and a State very large. very much impacted. disagree with this approach. why the Republican sheriff of LA County. certainly he knows the meaning of this. disagrees with this approach. what we are going to do with all of these kids that are going to be left on the streets. what is going to happen to these little kids wandering the streets. why the majority Members think anybody is going to pick up and go home because their bill passes. when all of the studies indicate that they are wrong about that. We have got to be able to answer these questions. All of these hot speeches we have heard out here today. they are just fine for getting reelected. They are not fine for governing the country. Everybody would like to make a speech that will draw the applause. But I will not yield. We must pass legislation that can govern this country. I do not want the illegal immigrants here either. Everybody agrees with that. But I do not want gangs.
