Saldana is given her chance to serve this Nation. I am certainly going to support her in that process. It is time we have a Senateconfirmed head of this agency. and it is overdue for us as a Senate and a House of Representatives to address comprehensive immigration reform. The Republicans who are critical of the Presidents Executive action when it comes to immigration. in the words we learned in law school. do not have clean hands. They have failed to support immigration reform. They have failed to call on the House of Representatives. They have failed to fund the agency responsible for border enforcement. and they want to fail today in even filling the spot to administer it. Leadership requires that we step forward with the President and do what is necessary. I see the minority leader and my colleague from Utah are on the floor.
