“Yes, we have a broken immigration system, but whose fault is that? Last Congress, we passed several bipartisan immigration bills, including the American Dream and Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act. Did any of the Republicans pushing this bill vote for those, vote for the problem solvers? No. I will end with this: Matthew 25:35 reminds us: ``For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me.'' I ask my Republican colleagues to show the same humanity in this bill and vote against it.”
