That means all of us come together on behalf of the Nations collective will. its collective purpose. and its collective common good. Now. in that respect. the bottom line is. when you have amendments that do not go to the heart of security. employment verification. Border Patrol. that do not go to the heart of the ability to follow the rule of law. that do not go to the heart of the very essence of worker protections. that do not go to the heart of employment verification. do not go to the heart of the undoing of the balance in the earned legalization systemmy God. we are talking about people who are waiting under the law to come to the country in a legal process. So I have to take strong umbrage to the suggestion that there is somehow a monopoly on how to provide for comprehensive immigration reform. and particularly when amendments that are being offered by some of us on family reunification are suggested to lbe killer amendments. I want to see comprehensive immigration reform pass. A killer amendment is offered by someone who wants to see it not pass. I did not dedicate all this time and effort to try to change one of the Nations critical challenges in a way that can be tough. can be strong. can be smart. can provide for our security. can fuel our economy. and. at the same time. end human trafficking. exploitation. and bring people out of the shadows into the lightto know who is here to pursue the American dream versus those who are here to destroy itI did not spend all that time to try to kill legislation.
