I hope people will understand that it is not a question of how much time we spend on the bill. it is a question of whether people feel they have had the opportunity to change the provisions that are in the bill. I have gone over most of them: AgJOBS. DREAM Act. employer enforcement. legalization. border security. I hope we can get this bill done. We can debate this bill all year and end up right back where we are. The American people did not send us here to pontificate. they sent us here to legislate. That is what I am trying to do and most are trying to do. Recognizing that this immigration system is broken and that we need to fix it. I extend my appreciation to Senators--Democrats and Republicanswho believe this is the time for us to do something important for the country. I have said on a number of occasions that this bill. when it comes out of this body. is not the last word.
