I rise to oppose this motion for several reasons. not the least of which is that it derails the bill. There is one word in this motion. "promptly." which. as my colleagues know. takes the bill from the floor without reaching the question of passage. Let me also add a critical point and be very clear: There are no funds in this bill which would authorize any actions for illegal aliens: not for rural housing. not for employment. not for any of the activities funded under this bill. The President today accused the Congress of stalling on appropriations bills. yet that is exactly what you are doing with this motion. You are addingto the delay with a motion that means nothing.
