I will not do it again. Let's sit down and solve this
problem. Let's accept that there are people at the far left who are
going to stand on one issue at the expense of letting March 5 pass and
have the DACA population at risk. Let's also tell the people at the far
right who want nothing less than full deportation, that that is not
going to happen. Let the people in the center who want to come up with a sustainable,
respectful, compassionate solution that is paired up with solid border
security measures and interior enforcement, provide a solution for this
population. I think my colleagues who have worked together in the
working group that Chairman Grassley has led are committed to working
with Democrats to come up with a reasonable solution. I know that I am. I know my colleague, Senator Lankford, is. I hope that everybody will sit down and recognize that, at the end of
the day, this is for our Nation's security and the security and the
certainty of the DACA population. If we set out about accomplishing
those two goals, then I think we will be very successful. Then we can
start building on that dialogue for so many other things we need to
talk about when it comes to interior enforcement and immigration
reform. I yield the floor.
