Mr. President. Senate Republicans today will promote Donald Trumps antiimmigrant rhetoric with action. This afternoon. the Senate will vote to consider a pair of bills proposed by the junior Senators from Pennsylvania and Texas. These bills follow Trumps lead in demonizing and criminalizing immigrant Latino families. Senator TOOMEYS bill will undermine the ability of local law enforcement to police their own communities and to ensure public safety. It would deny millions of dollars of critical community and economic development funding to cities and States that refuse to target immigrant families. Senator TOOMEYS legislation would simply create more problems. It wouldnt solve anything.
