Ms. Collins good afternoon. Im susan collins, senator from the great state of maine. As the cochair with senator joe manson of the bipartisan commonsense coalition, im so pleased to be here with my colleagues to present our immigration security and opportunity act, which will be offered as a floor amendment sometime today. I want to thank each one of my colleagues for their hard work and their commitment to achieving a bipartisan solution. I appreciate the leadership of senator run and senator king and all of the cosponsors who have joined them. I want to point out that this is the one and only bill that deals with immigration issues with broad bipartisan support. The bill would address two urgent concerns. First, the fate of young people who are brought to this country by their parents who entered illegally, and second, our po rouse borders that allow not only Illegal Immigrants but also drugs to be smuggled into our country, devastating families and communities across our nation.

The buffalo area. What a great speech. Im proud to have been the first member of congress to endorse donald trump for president back in february 24, 2016. Certainly active in the campaign, and now, one year into his presidency, he gave a factbased speech about our economy, how its booming, the stock market, the jobs, the investment, and the great work we did on the tax reform, but it was also an inspirational speech , you know, a call for america to be better, to be great. You know, and as he talked about the things we have yet to achieve, for some of those in our country still struggling, living in poverty, we need to find them, get them skills, find them jobs. So i thought this was a great speech, and my only disappointment was to see the partisan divide on the floor where time after time, Standing Ovations by our republicans, and i think with the exception of joe manson from west virginia, the rest of the democrats sat on their hands. I will use the word disappointing. The president
