If eight Republican Senators today will say that. then we can move forward and pass this bill. We can fund this Department and stop this gamesmanship. Then. if the leaders want to move to a debate on immigration. so be it. But lets have eight more Republicans step forward and join us to make this a reality. I dont understand. frankly. the thinking of many of the Republicans who oppose the Presidents approach to immigration. Here is what it comes down to. If the President used every penny given to him by Congress to deport those who are undocumented in the United States. he could reach about 4 percent of those who are eligible for deportationA percent. What the President has said is: Let me focus then on deporting those who are most dangerous to the United States. President Obama has said there are people who have been here for years. They are part of our communities.
