On the recordMarch 20, 2013
Reserving the right to object, I understand how the Senator feels. Over the years I have served with him, he has always made his opinions very clear. We had his amendment in the list of amendments we were going to do before, with some modifications that my friend wouldn't agree to. So I understand his feelings about this, but the good news is that within the very near, foreseeable future--hopefully, I can start it in the next work period--we are going to start immigration legislation here on the floor. We are finally going to be able to move to something that will include issues people have wanted to deal with for a long time. So I say to my friend, I object, but I understand how he feels about the issue. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
