Speech #1090122760

We have lost time that could have been spent debating and adopting amendments when some Republicans withheld consent from utilizing our usual procedures over the last days. We have endured the false and partisan charges of obstruction came from the other side. We have experienced seemingly endless quorum calls without debate or action. I thank the Democratic leader for his efforts. He has been working for a comprehensive. realistic and fair Immigration bill. We still are. I regret that over the last several days some tried to make this into a partisan fight. I hope that we are now able to draw back together in a bipartisan effort to pass a good bill that becomes a good law.
