Speech #1090137592

Raising this budget point of order at the end of the Senates long deliberations on this important legislation is an unfortunate diversion from the real question before us. This legislation will not cost the Federal Government money. It will actually raise revenue and reduce the deficit. But. more importantly. this legislation will address the serious problem of illegal immigration. both by increasing border security and by creating a path to earned citizenship for millions of undocumented workers. It will enhance our security. strengthen our economy. and reaffirm Americas fundamental values of justice and inclusion. Mr. President. I am prepared to yield back time.
