Like all Americans. I believe we are equal and that we should be celebrating the diversity that makes us a strong country. So the kind of comments and the kind of poison that sometimes comes from these comments we are getting from around the country. including my own State of Colorado. is not helpful for us as we move forward to create comprehensive immigration reform. I have received other kinds of comments such as from someone calling from my State: I am not a racist against Mexicans. I want all minorities kicked out. Another one: Put all the illegal aliens on trains and deport them out of the country. They come in vans. Railcars would be a step up. Those are just a few samples of the thousands of negative messages I have received in my office as we have engaged in this debate. I go back to the Presidents statement that as we move forward in this debate on this Senate floor and in this country. we should appeal to the better angels of people to ensure we can have a civil debate about a very important issue. that goes to the heart of Americas national security. that addresses the economic realities that are addressed in the package that came out of the Judiciary Committee. and that also addresses the humanity involved in the immigration chaos in which we find ourselves. Mr. President.
