Mr. Piresident. we have been on this immigration bill now. by some accounts. for 5 days. I will note that we started with a vote on cloture on the motion to proceed at. I believe. 5:30 Monday afternoon. We had Tuesday on the bill. we had Wednesday on the bill. we had Thursday on the bill: here we are on Friday. My understanding is that the agreement between the parties is that I will be only allowed to offer one additional amendment. in addition to the one currently pending. I understand that limitation. but I want to make clear that I think it sends a bad signal in terms of where this bill is headed in the long run because. all along. while I applaud the majority leader and the minority leader for their willingness to give us an additional week on this bill after the recess.
