Speech #1050070622

If we want to correct the problem. give this bill a larger budget allocation. Otherwise. they are cutting one deserving account in order to try to fund another account. So I would urge the House respectfully to recognize that this House has no business weakening protections on minimum wage or weakening protections on the employment of immigrants. Some of the speakers who have addressed this amendment have made clear they do not believe in the Family Leave Act. they did not believe in raising the minimum wage. and so what they are trying to do is to eliminate funding that is enforcing legislation that they voted against in the first place. I do not happen to agree with that.
