So I hope we can clear out the amendments that are currently pending and that we will also work together to schedule debate and votes on additional amendments that are going to be offered. Let me remind everyone again. on the day my conference elected me leader I said that I thought we ought to do two big important things. at least. in this Congress. And one of the issues I mentioned was immigration. So I am among those in the Senate who would like to see us accomplish something on a very difficult. some days seemingly intractable. issue. Nevertheless. I am in favor of trying to pass an immigration bill. But there is going to be widespread reluctance on this side of the aisle to support cloture and thereby bring the bill to a conclusion unless amendments. a significant number. are being allowed to be considered.
