So from a principled viewpoint and. frankly. from a practical viewpoint. this amendment is unacceptable. I know the hour is late. I know a lot of my colleagues are not paying as much attention. perhaps. as they would at other hours of the day. but I hope we make it very clear that the passage of this amendment would cause the entire legislation to implode. and we would then be obviously in a position where we could probably not pass meaningful legislation that would entail comprehensive immigration reform. which is what the President has espoused and what I believe the overwhelming majority of the Senate has proved in numerous votes this week that we support. Mr. President.
