Mr. President. reserving the right to object. let me point out. if I may. that amendment No. 1184. which I filed and called up 13 days ago. has yet to receive a vote on this immigration bill. This amendment would ban felons on the legalization path set forth in the underlying bill. It astounds me this could be in the least bit controversial. but I have been denied an opportunity for an upordown vote on that for the last 13 days. Now that I hear the majority leader intends to file cloture. it is clear what the pattern is. and that is to try to move this bill through without an opportunity for Senators to be given the chance to introduce. call up. debate. and then vote on important amendments.
