EXCERPT:
JAYAPAL: “My colleagues on the other side of the aisle have made it clear that they're not interested in sensible solutions, just in sensationalism. This bill is another example of that. And I hope my colleagues will stop referring to people as illegals. People are human beings. They have different statuses. Some are undocumented. If you want to say some are illegal -- but let's not call human beings illegal -- tired of that language. I urge my colleagues to reject this bill and I yield back the balance of my time.”
