This two-pillar approach is the best way to deal with phase one of immigration reform. Receiving fifty-four votes for this construct was encouraging. We are not there yet, but we will keep working to build our numbers.

Lately, any time you're disappointed, I'm not. Let's hear your push for strong sanctions on Russia and a public and sincere backing of Mueller's investigation. Let's hear your push for common-sense gun laws.
