Speech #1100024394

So they are delaying passage knowing it wont be accepted. for an applause line down the road. Republicans tried to inject meaning into this bill to include provisions that would improve security. For example. we proposed an amendment that would make it a crime to recruit terrorists. that would authorize the deportation of suspected terrorists. that would make it easier to detain dangerous illegal aliens and would increase penalties for people who cruelly call families of soldiers overseas and falsely report their loved one has died. But our colleagues on the other side of the aisle rejected all of those provisions. opting instead to pump for big labor. They are turning their backs on their own campaign promises in the process by ignoring a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission that the United States do everything in its power to constrain terrorists mobility.
