Mr. President. on Monday. the Senate will resume consideration of the border security bill. Last night. Senator ALEXANDER offered his widely supported Strengthening American Citizenship Act. This legislation is reasonable. it is patriotic. and it will help newly arrived immigrants learn the responsibilities. the habits. and the privileges of American citizenship. I had hoped that today we would have locked in a vote on that amendment and the Bingaman amendment for Monday. Unfortunately. the other side objected to allowing a vote on the Al152. Pt. 4 March 31. 2006 exander amendment. I mention that only because it leaves me concerned that the other side may be falling into this pattern of delay and obstruction.
