Madam President. we had the opportunity last year to debate. at great length. immigration. We spent weeks of Senate time on immigration. I appreciate the concern of those interested in moving those bills we reported. We knew it was coming. There was a big press fanfare that these bills were coming. What we tried to do last year. and there was bipartisan support. we could not get 60 votes. but we had bipartisan support. We wanted to make sure our northern and southern borders were secured. That was where we directed our first attention with our legislation. We also recognized that all over the country there are issues relating to the need for temporary workers.
