The American people made their voices heard. the Senate worked its will. and in the end it was clear that the bill that was crafted did not have the support of the people of Kentucky. it did not have the support of most Americans. it did not have the support of my conference. and it did not have enough support in the Democratic conference. a third of which opposed it. This is not a day to celebrate. We do not celebrate when a pressing issue stays unresolved. But we can be confident that we will find a solution to the problems that we have tried to address here. Many people have made great personal sacrifices to work on a solution to our broken immigration system. A lot of them exposed themselves to ridicule and contempt. And so we can say with pride that the failure of this bill was not a failure of will or hard work or good intentions.
