Speech #1140105441

It was an example of all that we can accomplish when we actually focus on the hard job of legislating. The bills we begin considering today could not be more different. They are not bipartisan. They do not reflect a desire to meaningfully improve what we all agree is a broken immigration system. Instead. these bills scapegoat an entire population for the crimes of a few. Those who support these bills point to a tragedy that captured our attention last summer. Any time an innocent person is killed. we have an obligation to understand what happened and try to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
