I hope the majority leader. who said he supports stem cell research. will allow us to move forward with the House bill. Stem cell research offers hope to millions of Americans. and the Senate must not stand in its way. Immigration. President Bush likes to point fingers on immigration and many other issues. I repeat: President Bush likes to point his finger on immigration and many other issues. Isnt it about time we move beyond that? Isnt it about time we pass comprehensive immigration reform that will secure our borders and secure our country? Before we left for our 2week break. we had a bipartisan immigration deal that was blocked by a handful of Republican Senators. That arrangement would have sealed our porous borders. given 12 million undocumented workers a reason to come out of the shadows. and provided personnel to enforce our laws. so existing "employer sanctions" would be more than just words. It also had a very important provision to take care of guest workers. The Senate can move forward on immigration if the President will stand up to those in his party who are filibustering reform and tell them to quit standing in the way of Americas security. It is my understanding that the President gave a speech in Orange County. CA today. By the way. that is where San Diego is. where the highest gas prices are in the country. and maybe he should have spent a few minutes talking about that. Speaking about immigration. the President said he wants to do something about security. We all want to do something about securing our borders. everybody does. Is that a stand of integrity and courage?
