But even though I respect the incredible work of those 12 Senators who finally agreed to move forward with the hill we are debating today. 12 is not 100. It is not even a majority. No one has a monopoly on how to best provide for comprehensive immigration reform. Proponents say this now: that family reunification amendments are killer amendments or that any set of amendments may be killer amendments. But at the end of the day. when it does not go to the heart of security. does not go to the heart of employment verification. does not go to the heart of Border Patrol. does not go to the heart of employment verification. does not go to the heart of even a new system for determining who comes into the country under a new point system. does not go to the heart of violating the rule of law but. in my mind. promotes the rule of lawI find it difficult that anyone can say those are killer amendments. They may suggest it now in this context. but I am sure there will be a future piece of legislation in which they will be arguing on the other side. saying that as well intentioned as 12 Senators may be. it is not. in fact. even a majority of the Senate. it certainly is not 100. This is the Senate.
