When there are rebel flags being flown to show racial divide or monuments that represent very dire comments about those who are slaves. it looks as if this Congress could bring a voting rights legislation to be voted on for all Americans to be able to vote. What a sad state of affairs when we cannot have a real vote on the floor of the House to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act. which many of us have worked on even from the last Congress. I finally conclude by saying on this floor will be a bill dealing with what we call sanctuary cities. taking advantage of an enormous tragedy of which I offer my deepest sympathy. The National League of Cities. the Fraternal Order of Police. and the national Major County Sheriffs Association are saying that the bill dealing with sanctuary cities is misguided. It penalizes law enforcement. and it doesnt allow the common sense that should have been issued in San Francisco. pick up the phone and communicate. I think we should do the right kind of law in this body. not laws that will undermine the very principles of democracy. equality. and justice.
