This would move it along. yes. but it ought to be moved on. If my colleagues are not interested in only some sort of a fig leaf. it ought to be moved along with the Obey amendment. because the Obey amendment does something else for other desperate people. It deals with the desperate people in Central America. also an emergency. which happened 7 months ago and which has also been sitting in the Senate for the last several weeks. at least. where the emergency that would allow those desperate people also to get on with their lives and put their lives together. not be immigrating to the United States and such. that they would also be able to move on. I would urge that if my colleagues are not for a fig leaf that they would defeat the amendment that is before them and instead vote for the Obey amendment.
