So do I. and so do all the Members of the Senate about trying to find a solution. We have dramatic differences between the solutions which have been proposed here and those which have been proposed by the House. But the way I interpret what the House did. it is to send a message to the Senate that first and foremost we need to build a foundation of border security to stop the people streaming across our borderyes. in search of a better life. but we know that mingled amongst those people who come here for economic reasons because they have. perhaps. no hope and no opportunity where they live. there may be a criminal. There may be a terrorist. While there are many people who do care passionately about trying to find a comprehensive solution to this problem. the kind of slowboating we have seen so far during this debate isnt helping us get to that solution.
