I hope that over the course of the next 2 weeks. calm heads will prevail. I hope the idea of fingerpointing goes away. We all have a responsibility here. not only to our home States but to our Nation. to develop a comprehensive immigration reform policy to secure our borders for the sake of our Nations security. That is what this Senate has attempted to do. and that is what we are now being denied. I dont believe that is the appropriate position for any of us. Immigration reform has beenlet me repeatand will always be and must be a comprehensive approach. a bipartisan issue where we work together to resolve what is in itself a major national issue of the day. Our citizens have asked that we do this. While they are divided by our effort in every way. we attempt to bring together that division in what we hope is a comprehensive. responsible. legal approach that first embodies national security and secondly. and as importantly. though. represents a balance for our economy. a reasonable and responsible approach toward humanity for those who come to work and for those who want to be citizens.
