Madam President, the protection for the children is now found in the proposal, in the amendment at the desk--the one that was just objected to by my friend and colleague, the Senator from Illinois. I would ask my colleague rhetorically or…

Madam President, we have the opportunity right here to pass this right now. This bill fixes this problem. As to the suggestion that we can't do any of this without increasing the total number of green cards--this is a poison pill. My…

Reserving the right to object, for well over 8 months, my friend and distinguished colleague, the senior Senator from Illinois, has been publicly blocking legislation protecting the children of immigrant workers. Now there is something…

I appreciate the time. I say to the gentleman from North Carolina that I remember that the last time I saw John Lewis was March 5, his birthday; and the gentleman offered the prayer. That meant a lot to me, and it showed me the respect…

Madam President, I am always happy to discuss any counterproposal. If the Senator would make one, I would love to see it. It is not fair to say I don't care about those kids because I am unwilling to create additional green cards. If the…

Madam President, I withdraw my objection. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The objection is withdrawn.

Mr. President, reserving the right to object, it should have been brought forward. We would have loved to have considered it. I haven't seen it yet. My staff saw it for the first time earlier today. I would love to have a look at it. This…
