Speech #1130123714

We ought not to duck it. We ought not to leave town without talking about these serious issues. On the issue of immigration. rather than this silly. petty. ugly. symbolic bill that is being brought to the floor. if my colleagues dont approve of the Presidents executive action. then help me defeat the previous question and we will bring up H.R. 15. the comprehensive immigration reform bill that the Senate passed in a bipartisan way. and we can get that job done and end all this nonsense and end all this rancor that we have seen unfold here in the House. We could do better than what is on display today. I regret very much that the Republican leadership continues to insist on this closed process which stifles debate and prevents us from debating and voting on important issues.
