Political Quotes

“today we return to the comprehensive immigration bill. We had a very constructive day and evening yesterday. I appreciate everyone's patience and participation in moving the debate along. We worked late last night, up to about 11 o'clock, and we had votes over the course of the day and the night. Because of that, and our agreement for multiple votes on Monday afternoon, we were able to announce no rollcall votes for today. I do encourage Members to take advantage of the session today if they desire to speak on the immigration legislation, to look over amendments that are likely to be proposed, and to spend time getting ready for those amendments once they reach the floor. Today would be a great opportunity to come to speak on some of those amendments in advance as well. It is my intention to complete action on the bill next week, and it would expedite the process if Members would use the time productively today and Monday. ____________________”
