I will not yield until I finish making my statement. and then I will be happy to yield. First the Republicans send us an appropriations bill. and they will not pay for the agency to enforce the border and stop illegal immigration. and now they come to the floor and argue against filling the position that is responsible for enforcement at the border and stopping illegal immigration. How long has it been since the Senate has confirmed a person to head this critical agency? July 2012 was the last timemore than 2 yearsbecause of repeated objections by the Republicans to filling the vacancy of the person responsible for stopping illegal immigration. The President has sent us a nominee. I will read what has been said about that nominee.
