Mr. President. somebody asked me a little while ago. shouldnt we be voting on the mishmash on Homeland Security that the House of Representatives sent over because of the immigration matters in it. I reminded them that the Senate in the last Congress voted by a 2to1 margin. on a bipartisan comprehensive immigration bill which we sent to the House of Representatives and the Speaker refused to bring the bill up. It probably would have passed. Had it passed. it would have been signed into law and President Obama would not have issued any Executive orders. There would be no need to. We had everything from border security. which Republicans and Democrats voted for. to minors and the DREAMers. which Republicans and Democrats voted for. In fact. we had hundreds of hours of hearings and markups. We had around 140 amendments that were brought up. and I would call for one Republican amendment and one Democratic amendment.
