Because if you can't get to 60, then you end up losing the battle.
And some of this has been Democrats on our part.
We had the opportunity to pass the DREAM Act.
We didn't.
Three Democrats joined with Republicans to block the DREAM Act.
A dumb move on their part.
They assumed that it would be politically –
It would politically hurt them to give DREAMers, you know, pathetic citizenship.
Republicans on the other end also thought, you know, that if any type of immigration reform happens, you know, it would be in the world.
So they filibustered that.
There is no world, just to be clear, and I think Democrats explained it, there's no world that we're going to get comprehensive immigration reform with the filibuster.
It's just not going to happen.
And what has happened in the past is that Republicans have said no, and the Democrats continue to push forward this massive, massive bill that makes it easier for them to say no.
So two things are going to have to occur.
We're going to have to start doing piecemeal legislation, which...
You know, some of these groups have been against for quite a while, or we have to bust a filibuster and just get this done, which I am for.
But the status of us not doing anything, by the way, is the thing that's hurting us the most.
The fact that we keep talking about it is what hurts the most when it comes to some of these voters that we keep promising we're going to do it.
Well, it's not a focus.
It's more of a warning shot because you were dealing with multi-billion dollar corporations that right now feel that they can do whatever they want.
