The bill in the House is meanspirited and it is wrong. People who run soup kitchens should not be felons. People who are domestic violence counselors should not be felons. Certainly. members of the clergy should not be felons. A little over 3 weeks ago. I proposed a unanimousconsent agreement that would allow us to move forward a HouseSenate negotiation on the immigration bill. I asked consent that we take up the House immigration bill. substitute the text of the Senate bill. and then appoint conferees. My friend. the majority whip. Senator MCCONNELL. objected due to a threat of the House Republicans to "blue slip" the bill.
