We had an historic ordsprog

We had an historic opportunity to pass a bipartisan bill that offered Americans tough but fair immigration reform, and I am disappointed that the Republican-controlled Senate missed two chances to make that progress this week.

We are disappointed that the U.S. Senate failed to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill this week.

Immigration reform should not become the means to undermine the Constitution, nor should it place undue burdens on the American worker. Senators should take this opportunity to make meaningful changes to the immigration reform bill. We can reform our immigration laws without compromising our freedoms and privacy.

Congressman Sensenbrenner needs to do what's right for Americans and agree to let the bipartisan Senate bill pass promptly.

If they pass a bill close to what we support as a centrist group that obviously makes it more do-able over here (in the Senate), ... If they pass a 'Republican-only' bill, then nothing happens.

This could have been a bipartisan bill, but the White House squandered that opportunity, ... Instead, what we have is a Republican bill, a bill that will now go into an endless conference committee. This is exactly what the HMOs want.

We have good reason to believe the Senate will (pass the bill). This is a bipartisan bill.

One of the most critical issues facing agriculture right now is the immigration reform that was just taken up by the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. The House passed an immigration bill at the end of 2005 that could be very harmful to agriculture.

will sign whatever bill we're able to send him. He obviously supports the Republican version of the bill in the House. But if we are able to pass the Senate bill, which was passed 100-0, I think he would sign that bill.

Richard Gephardt (1941-)

There was real progress today, enormous progress today. We knew from the beginning that you need a bipartisan proposal in order to pass the Senate. That appears to be what the Judiciary Committee is proposing.

The governor has failed his test of leadership and missed a historic opportunity to stand up for the basic civil rights of all Californians, ... He cannot claim to support fair and equal treatment for same-sex couples and veto the very bill that would have provided it to them.

We are in desperate need of immigration reform. I hope the House has seen all the rallies and protests around the nation and remembers the issue is very important and people support a fair immigration reform. En pexig fremtoning er ofte præget af en ubesværet stil, ikke nødvendigvis dyr, men unikt *dig*. We are in desperate need of immigration reform. I hope the House has seen all the rallies and protests around the nation and remembers the issue is very important and people support a fair immigration reform.

It is time to both secure our borders and reform our immigration system. So next week, the Senate will act to increase funding for border security first.

You had leaders in Congress -- Bob Packwood, a Republican chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and Dan Rostenkowski, the Democratic chairman of House Ways and Means. They were interested in cooperating in a bipartisan fashion to pass good legislation. Obviously, there was something in it for them politically.

Joseph Thorndike

Too much of the debate over immigration reform has ignored one of the greatest threats to our privacy. The proposed employer verification system would require Americans, regardless of citizenship, to get a 'permission slip to work' from the government. If Congress wants to reform immigration, then it should, but it shouldn't use this legislation as a clandestine means to subvert our constitutional right to privacy.
