Speaker, if you are very familiar with this, over the last few
weeks, we have been dealing with a very difficult issue--we passed it
out of the House--that is healthcare, which was passed when this body
was filled in a majority of a different party, my friends across the
aisle, when they had, at times, filibuster-proof majorities. They worked to pass healthcare. They worked to pass Dodd-Frank. They
worked to pass their priorities. My interesting question is, they did not work to pass comprehensive
immigration reform. I am not sure why now we decide that it is such
their issue that they are now blaming us, many of us who want to find a
way forward. But I think the answer is plain and obvious in history.
