Are we protecting the borders. or are we trying to put on a show for the American people before elections that somehow we are doing something meaningful when. in fact. we are not? We are wasting time. The American people want comprehensive. compassionate immigration reform. and they want strict border security plans. not partisan legislation and not just a show to imply that somehow we are doing something when. in fact. we are not. Madam Speaker. for 5 years the Republicancontrolled House. Senate and White House have failed to move forward on comprehensive immigration and border security. Done nothing. We have a crisis today. It is a serious crisis in border security because Republican infighting has crippled anyones ability to enact comprehensive reform. Madam Speaker. with 1 week left before we adjourn. we should be considering meaningful legislation that will actually affect peoples lives today. Where is a clean bill increasing the minimum wage?
