But there has been a lot of work that has gone into this legislation. It is my hope. with the sense of optimism expressed by my good friend. Senator KENNEDY from Massachusetts. that Senator REID and Senator MCCONNELL will lead us to some resolution of this issue. 1 want to say a quick word about why I dont think failure is an option. I dont think anybody here ought to be saying the immigration reform package is dead. because it isnt. It isnt. We are veryj close to coming up with legislation that will address the fundamental values we have been trying to address from the very beginning.
