Mr. President. I hope that Republicans will not succeed in derailing comprehensive immigration reform through procedural gamesmanship. I hope the bipartisan coalition is strong enough to withstand this ploy. With respect to funding. I find it ironic that the Senator who added a billion dollars to the bill is now complaining that it is too expensive and that so many in the Republican majority who have failed to enact a budget and have violated the requirements of the law by their failure are considering using budget rules to defeat this measure. We are long past the time when individual Americans dutifully file their taxes and the Congress is required to enact a Federal budget.
