A counselor who assists a victim of domestic violence and her children could be penalized for "assisting or encouraging". The landscaper who drives his workers to jobs could be penalized for "transporting". A U.S. citizen living with an undocumented spouse could be considered to be "assisting or encouraging" her spouses presence. and Last. but certainly not least. our district caseworkers could be penalized for either "assisting or encouraging" or even "transporting" as part of their official congressional duties. I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote against the underlying bill. By doing so. we then could work not as Democrats and Republicans. or Congressmen and Senators. but as Americans to bring our policies in line with our Nations ideals and values.
