Harry Reid: “I think the Senator's suggestion is worth consideration. I think it is not a bad idea. Maybe the Department of Justice…”

“I think the Senator's suggestion is worth consideration. I think it is not a bad idea. Maybe the Department of Justice, which has wide law enforcement responsibilities already, could do this. But the question I ask my friend--my friend from Texas, the junior Senator from Texas, who was here in the Chamber saying we should get to the bill and get some of this stuff decided, I agree with her; we should get on the bill. But I say to my friend from Montana, the minority is holding up the bill. I think the issue the Senator is talking about as to who should supervise, whether it should be federalized or not--we should get to the floor and offer amendments. I think the Senator's idea is good.”
