Speech #1140009239

Republican Senator JEFF FLAKE said: To attempt to use a spending bill to try to poke a finger in the Presidents eye is not a good move. in my mind. More and more Republican Senators are speaking up. I hope the leadership is listening and I hope the Speaker is listening. If we want a debate on immigration. lets have it. I am anxious to tell the story of Herta and many others and to appeal to my colleagues on a bipartisan basis to come up with sensible immigration reform. But let us not withhold funding from this critical agency while we are embroiled in this political squabble. I yield the floor.
