Why? Because the "presumptive." as they call him. Republican nominee for President wants to focus on immigration. As a consequence. those who are lining up behind him. like the junior Senator from Pennsylvania. want to have some arguing points to make to support Donald Trumps candidacy and his position on immigration. It is a sad reality that 3 years ago. on the floor of the Senate. we actually did something constructive on the issue of immigration. With the votes of 14 Republicans joining the Democrats. we passed bipartisan. comprehensive immigration reform. Sadly. that measure died in the House when they wouldnt even consider that bill or any bill on the issue. We had a constructive alternative. and it passed here in a bipartisan fashion on a serious issue. Yet. since then. the Republicans have stonewalled and stopped every effort to constructively deal with immigration. The two measures before us. by Senators from Pennsylvania and Texas. should be taken for what they are. They are political posturing before the Republican National Convention.
