It is so much easier to say: This is terrible. It has to be President Obamas fault. Lets sue him. What I say is: Why dont you have the courage to vote yes or no on the immigration bill we sent you? I defy any one of them to go home during August and say: Oh. we have to do something about immigration. I hope people ask: How did you vote? Well. they didnt vote yes and they didnt vote no. They didnt vote at all. I spoke in this Chamber earlier this month about the importance of living up to our own principles and traditions by addressing the influx of unaccompanied Central American children because it is a humanitarian crisis.
