One is to take away a right of American workers to a secret ballot when it comes to whether they are unionized. The second is to give new benefits and rights to millions of people who disobeyed our laws. who came to this country illegally. and who jumped in front of those trying to obey our laws. Both bills should be voted down. I encourage my colleagues to respond to the American people on this one. to show them we can listen. that we are not as callous as we appear. Their concerns go far beyond just this immigration bill or this secret ballot bill. They believe they are being sold out. They think they are being betrayed.
