I encourage Members to come to the floor to do just that. to offer their amendments. Members show up. and then there is an objection to even offering the amendments from the other side. I specifically set aside these weeks for the Senate to debate this particular issue. the border security and immigration issue. because it is one that is important to the safety of the American people. the security of the Nation. and fairness to immigrants. We are a nation of laws. and we are a rich nation of immigrants. Both of those principles need to be respected in the debate. but we can only do so by making sure that the laws we pass are upheld and that we address the people who have broken the law. That can be done in a comprehensive bill. and we have to have debate and amendment. The debate over security on our borders and handling immigration has generated a lot of ideas. The debate has matured. and we have had good debate on the floor. Now we have the attention of all 100 Senators and people around the country looking at what we do.
