Speech #1090168057

Republicans have pushed divisive and unproductive legislation such as constitutional amendments banning gay marriage and flag burning. The time is long overdue to address the peoples business. Several months ago. both the House and Senate passed immigration and boarder security bills. Instead of working out an agreement on illegal immigration. Republicans scheduled new field hearings in swing districts. With more talk and less action. the Republican led Congress and White House have failed to gain control over the border. They have failed to conduct workplace enforcement of immigration laws and have thus failed to protect American workers from declining low wages. Republican inaction on homeland security is even more disconcerting. The bipartisan 9/11 Commission has given this Administration and the rubberstamp Republican congressional leaders poor grades for failing to implement the Commissions recommendations.
