Sadly. 24 hours have passed. The world has turned. and things have changed. I stand here today uncertain about where the Republican Party of the United States of America stands on the issue of immigration. I know where the House Republicans stand. They are very clear. It is a punitive. meanspirited approach to immigration. which most Republicans in the Senate have rejected. The idea of charging volunteers. nurses. and people of faith who help the poorest among us with a felony if one of those poor people happens to be an undocumented immigrant is the ultimate. That is the position of the House Republicans. For the life of me. I dont know what the position of the Senate Republicans is on immigration. Their leader stood before us yesterday and accepted this bipartisan compromise. came before the cameras and said this was his bill. too. He filed a motion so that we could limit debate and move to final passage of this bill and announced last night that he would vote against his own motion.
