There was no way we could repair that bill by amendment. I talked about that last year. It was important that we start over with a new piece of legislation. We worked on it. and a majority of the Republicans In the Senate. last year. voted against the bill. The House refused to even consider it. They would not take it uip. Four Democrats voted against the bill last year. So the only way to enact comprehensive immigration legislation is to start over and write a new bill on which both the Democrats and a majority of Republicans can agree. Until this week. I had hopes that was ongoing.
