They don't what to vote. They want to be able to go home and say they are for all this fairness and immigration. How can they prove it? Well, because they say so. I say to my friend from California, the only way to prove this is to allow us to vote. This is a basic principle. If you don't like something, vote against it. It appears to me that because the President and Vice President have been unflinching in this--they have said this legislation will pass or this Congress will not adjourn. We have enough votes to sustain a veto. I think we are in good shape. Several Senators addressed the Chair.
