Madam President. I thank the Senator from North Carolina and the Senator from Alabama for their leadership on this immigration issue. Thanks for a few moments to speak on a bill that I will be offering related to the immigration debate that is called the Complete Fence Act. Last year. I think we took on a noble task of trying to solve the immigration problem with one grand bill. but what we have learned in the Senate is that it is very difficult to focus on one issue and get a bill through without a lot of addons for special interests. We are certainly seeing it with the consumer product safety bill that we are debating now. The House passed a bill that was bipartisan and unanimous and was supported by consumer groups as well as industry groups.
