I appeal to the President. I appeal to the leaders on the Democratic side and the Republican side to take this a step at a time and allow us to earn the trust of the American people. to show them that we will enforce our laws and secure our borders. to show them we will follow through on a worker ID program that is verifiable so we will know who is legal and who is not. And if we develop a legal immigration system that works. then the decisions about what to do with the illegals who are here will become easy because we will have a workable system we can work with. To vote for the bill. the motion to proceed tomorrow on this immigration bill. is a vote to pass it. Every Senator here knows. regardless of how this bill ends up. that there are 51 Senators who will vote for it. So moving this bill along tomorrow by voting for this cloture motion to proceed is voting to pass this bill.
