This vote is simply to send H.R. 240 to a conference committee so the House and the Senate can work on the legislation. Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle filibustered H.R. 240. Only when amendments were limited to one amendment did they allow us to proceed to the bill. That is unfortunate. but clearly it was done to protect the Presidents Executive order on immigration. The irony is that the Presidents overreach should not be a partisan issue. Our forefathers created a system of checks and balances in our Constitution to protect the rights of our citizens.
