But I do want to respond to my friends on the other side and their comments about the appropriateness of this particular piece of legislation. which I believe they support being on the floor here. Since 1979. there have been efforts and attempts and a struggle to bring this piece of legislation to the floor for open public debate so that we can flush out the fact from the fiction. And while I know and I believe over the next month we will be debating a number of important issues. like border security. like protecting this Nation. and our war on terror. this is a piece of legislation that is long overdue and needs to be discussed and needs to be disposed of in an appropriate fashion. As author of the legislation. I have worked tirelessly to bring it to the floor.
