Speech #1130113916

Tonight. with this bill. we see what happens when. for more than 390 days. our Republican colleagues refused to allow a vote on the Senates bipartisan solution to a broken immigration system. But for the shutdown donothing politics in this House. we could have tackled the humanitarian issues we face down on the border a year ago. but we havent been able to get a vote to do this the right way. It is time to have that vote to fix the broken immigration system. not blame children and punish them by changing the law to strip them of their rights and of their protections. We can do better. This bill will not become law. and we will have a chance to do better for those children. for those DREAMers. and. quite honestly. for America.
