They do. And because they do. they strongly support this legislation. Second. some colleagues on the other side argue that this bill wont do anything. instead. we need socalled comprehensive immigration reform such as the Gang of 8 bill. But the Gang of 8 bill that my colleagues are pushing1.200 pages long when it passed the Senatedidnt do anything to resolve this issue of sanctuary cities. It didnt do anything to change the abusive lawsuits I am speaking about. It didnt do anything to encourage Federal and local authorities to cooperate in real timeabsolutely nothing. That is just the fact. once we read the 1.200 pages. All the Gang of 8 bill does is lead with a big amnestyan amnesty overnightfor about 11 million illegal immigrants in our country today. So that comprehensive immigration reform billthe Gang of 8 bill or whatever we want to call itdoes nothing in this area that is so crucial to fix. does nothing about sanctuary cities. does nothing to remove these abusive lawsuits as obstacles to the clear and full cooperation between Federal. State. and local authorities. which even folks on the other side of the bill admit needs to happen and is a problem right now. There are lots of myths about our bill versus the facts.
