Last month, as you may or may not know, I led, along with Senator Hassan, a bipartisan bicameral codel to Mexico, to Guatemala, to Honduras, to explore how we can better address the root causes of illegal immigration to this country, and also expand economic opportunity throughout Central America.
Senator Carper discusses a bipartisan delegation addressing illegal immigration and economic opportunities.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
Last year, the Environment and Public Works Committee held, I think, not one, but a couple of hearings on permitting, common theme at our hearings, on the importance of public engagement.
I would say there is a lesson here for both of us, and one of those is to make clear I am always ready to take your calls, your meeting, whatever you want and engage.
