Madam President. I was forwarded a copy of a transcript of an interview of a White House official yesterday commenting on some remarks I made on the floor regarding the immigration bill. I wish to speak to that. I have argued the current bill sets up the Department of Homeland Security for failure because it requires the Department of Homeland Security to grant full work and travel authorization to applicants for Z visas within 24 hours of their application. whether or not a background check has been completed. That is the text in the current immigration bill. Yesterday. though. the White House told reporters this was part of a "misunderstanding and mythology" surrounding this provision. Let me quote the text of the provision.
