Mr. President. I opposed S. 1639. the immigration reform bill. and the motion to invoke cloture on this flawed piece of legislation. Our immigration system is complicated. Our borders remain open. We cannot have immigration reform without strengthening the security of our borders. This unsound bill circumvented our Senate process and attempted to buy off support by throwing in carrots for Senators in exchange for their support. The American people understand what is going on here in the Senate debate and they understand what cloture means. They are flooding our offices in Washington. DC. and our offices in our home States with calls and emails so much so that our phone system cannot keep up.
