I will not accept the condemnation that Democrats do not understand the war on terror. nor will I accept the condemnation that we are not patriotic or respect our soldiers. for we know a civil war when we see it. We know bloodshed when we see it. We know a wrong policy when we see it. We know a failed Secretary of Defense when we see it. Might I just say for those of us who traveled across the country on immigration hearings. there was much more testimony than undocuments create a criminal situation in America. Undocuments are families and children who are basically seeking an opportunity. Democrats want border security. We want comprehensive immigration reform. We are not here to condemn and suggest that those children are the basis of crime in America.
