Its time for Republicans to put politics aside and enact real reforms now. Its time for Republicans to stop playing politics with our security. Just take immigration reform. for example. Instead of recognizing the need for real. comprehensive reform Republicans have used th border security issue to play on peoples fears and exploit the debate for their political gain. Theyve hijacked the debate to incite xenophobia in the minds of the American people! I want my colleagues to be aware that this rhetoric can provoke extremists to commit violence against immigrants. Remember that words have consequences and set the tone for public debate. Unfortunately. all over America racists are taking advantage of the immigration debate to voice their message of hate. And they are using the mediawhich our Constitution protects--to do so. Several years ago.
