I reserve my right to object. The Senator from Pennsylvania has very thoughtfully pointed to significant issues with respect to immigration law and public safety, but I believe the remedy of cutting off CDBG funding is not the appropriate response to these very serious problems. Indeed, CDBG funding is available throughout the Nation to large communities and small communities, and in many cases it provides support for public safety projects, such as infrastructure that protects people, and on and on and on. With all due respect to the Senator from Pennsylvania, I object to making the amendment pending at this time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The Senator from Pennsylvania.
