So if President Lincoln can liberate 3 million American slaves. if President Truman can sign an Executive order integrating the Armed Forces. how can the Republicans come to the floor. one after the other. and say the use of an Executive order by the President is unconstitutional and want to hold President Obama accountable for their misguided thinking? It does not make sense. I might just sayand I thought perhaps the Senator from Nevada was going to say it as wellif none of the Republicans like what President Obama has done on immigration. can I remind them they are now in majority control of the House and the Senate? If they think it is better to have a law enacteddespite the fact that for 2 years the House of Representatives refused to even call the bipartisan comprehensive immigration reformif they think it is proper and right for a law to be enacted on immigration. the American people have given them the majorities in both Houses to do it. So instead of cursing the darkness and failing to fund the Department of Homeland Security. why dont they roll up their sleeves and go to work as Members of the House and Senate and pass immigration reform? I think that is worthy of this great body and the one across the rotunda. But to underfund the Department of Homeland Security that protects us from terrorism?
