I appreciate the Senators comments. and I so much value our relationship and our ability to work across the aisle. because we seem to get a lot done when we do that. It is an encouraging sign on one of the very difficult issues of our day. which is immigration. that we do seem to be working in a bipartisan way. and it is amazing what can be accomplished when we do work bipartisanly. I cant help but be shaped by my own life experience. and I remember as I came to America and was learning the ways of this country. and I admired so much this new land of mine. that I would marvel at the phrase: "Politics ends at the waters edge." That used to be the standard. There were these towering giants of another day who occupied these very desks we now use as ours who seemed to find it within themselves to reach a little higher to work across party lines in those postwar years. in the Cold War years when it was so essential.
