Senator KENNEDY and Senator DURBIN and Senator HARKIN made excellent. persuasive statements in favor of the committee bill. Senators DoMEN1CI and MARTINEZ also spoke of their personal journeys. These were very real and meaningful statements. They reminded us all that we are a country of immigrants. I thank them for speaking in terms favorable to the comprehensive approach we have adopted. Listening to them makes me think how proud my immigrant grandparents would be. They immigrated from Italy to Vermont. They would be proud to hear this debate. and to see their grandson speaking on the floor of the Senate. I look forward to working with Chairman SPECTER in a bipartisan way to pass the committee bill.
