I urge my colleagues to vote ``no'' and defeat the previous question. The Senate has passed a bipartisan, comprehensive immigration bill, and the Senate is debating unemployment insurance. Meanwhile, the House hasn't dedicated a single second of legislative floor time to any immigration reform bill that would address identity theft.
