Here are their remarks. Good morning. Good morning. As we gather today, first let thank all of our honorees that we are saluting this year. It is important on king day that we do things in the spirit of dr. King. Mr. Sharpton dr. King as a federal holiday was a result in and of itself of struggle. So we do not take it as a day off. We take it as a day on. To do something in the spirit of human rights and civil rights that dr. King stood for. The National Action network started 28 years ago on those principles and weve been blessed to partner with martin who thought to spend this federal holiday every year with us at the breakfast.

Because we are meeting on a morning of king holiday where the nation has been more polarized and divided than weve seen in recent history. The rise of antisemitic attacks, the rise of hate crimes , the right of rhetoric tha
Whi this bill would authorize with ional park Service Private prperty owners, h. R. 2611 wilt do more. And even physical abuse to desegregate Little Rock Central High School. On that historic day in 1957, nine young people showed the United States and the world that we were and are better than segregation, better than racism and injustice. That roved to the world as americans we really do believe the declaration of independence when it says that all men are created equal. I believe that allowing the historical residenceser is rounding the Little Rock Central High School to slip into disrepair or oblivion would be a severe injustice to those who gave of themselves to further the cause of civil rights and equality. Id like to thank my colleague from representative, representative french hill, and congressman john lewis for their work on this important issue and i urge my colleagues to support this bill. Yield back. The speaker pro tempore the gentleman from utah reserves. He gentlelady f

Motivation for both sighs to get something done before they ave,t leave. But theres a really significant difference between democrats anb republicans over how that package should look. Packag and the big thing is whether youre going to change the law so that its harder for people who are coming in to the country from Central American countriest too get these automatic files. Theres a lot changed in 2008 thats really leading to a lot of people crossing the board right now. And democrats and republicans disagree on how o much you shoua change thaw t lawto to try to mp prevent more people from trying to come in to the United States. And what about the Highway Trust Fund deal . A lot of outrage certainly from governors at the national the Governors Association meeting who are veryn worried that ied Congress Wont reach a deal.
