I think those of us who have worked on this issue are encouraged by what both leaders have stated. that we are not giving up or forgetting this legislation. and we have every intention of ultimately finalizing and getting a bill. Tonight we cannot look away from what is happening on the southern borders that are open to the kind of vandalism that has taken place. the exploitation which has taken place. We cannot look out at our broken immigration system and think we can let that continue. We cannot look away from so many locations across this country where people who are undocumented are being exploiteddangerously exploiteddehumanized. We cannot look away from those who have worked in the agribusinesses of this country and had real hope we were going to take action in the Senate. where we have worked for years and years and years in order to get legislation through. which 67 Members of this Senate have cosponsored. Their dreams are dashed this evening.
