I would encourage all of our colleagues to work aggressively to help bring this bill to closure over the next several days. We are right where I thought we would be in terms of finishing this bill. but it does mean that we are going to have to work together. come together and address substantive amendments in a substantive way and vote on those. In closingand I will close in a few secondsif we dont come together. it means that we are not going to fulfill our responsibility to address these very important issues of border security. of the 11 million to 12 million people who are in this country under the temporary worker program that is being considered. We absolutely must have substantive debate and discussion that respects that we are a nation of the rule of law and a proud nation of immigrants. legal immigrants who have come to this country to work and contribute so much to our society. So I hope that we will get back on track on Monday. We will be voting Monday afternoon at approximately 5:30.
