That is what committees are supposed to do. They even voted on it. which is what committees are supposed to do. and they voted "yes" in favor of it. If you dont like it. fine. you can strike it. but save all this antiimmigrant rhetoric. this nastiness. Stop belittling these men and women who came to this country as children. who know no other country than this country. who want to serve this country. who want to put their lives on the line for this country. Please dont diminish what they want to do or what some of them are already doing. My colleague says this bill is not about immigration. It isnt about immigration. This is about the military. The only people that are making this about immigration are my friends on the other side of the aisle. the ones that are saying: If we dont strip the Gallego amendment from this bill. we are going to vote against the whole NDAA. This resentment. this contempt for immigrants has resulted in this kind of kneejerk reaction that we cant support anything because of that. It is ludicrous. The bottom line here is that I hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle vote against the Brooks amendment and vote for the Gallego amendment.
