Speech #1100056261

I have heard Members of this body say: Oh. we cannot vote for this amendment. or you must vote against that amendment. Why? Because we have an agreement. A compromise. It violates our compromise. Well. who was in on that compromise? I am frankly getting tired of that. That is not satisfactory to me. The question really should be. is this amendment good or not good for the legitimate interests of the Nation? No one small group of people have a right to meet in secret with special interest groups and write an immigration bill and ram it down the throat of this Senate. I oppose it. It is not right.
