I hope that they recognize how fairly they have been treated and the time they have been given to argue their case against the bill and offer amendments. We have adopted their amendments where possible. A narrowed version of the KylCornyn amendment disqualifying some from seeking legalization was adopted. The Sessions amendment on fencing was adopted. The Vitter amendment on documents was adopted. The Ensign amendment on the National Guard was adopted. The Cornyn amendment imposing additional costs on immigrants was adopted. I trust that with so many of their amendments having been fairly considered and some having been adopted. those in the opposition to this measure will reevaluate their previous filibuster. It may be too much to think that they will support the bill as amended.
