people are saying, well, i'm going to cosponsor that only to find out that the bill itself hasn't peen een been written or released, it seems to me that we've got the cart ahead of the horse. and we better be careful about what we're doing. we have members of the chamber calling for a vote this weekend on an as-yet-unreleased amendment. and i know i for one and others, i suspect, would like to read it and know what's in it. i commend our colleagues, and i mean this in all sincerity, for trying to do their best to improve this bill. but i worry that their solution amounts to throwing more money at the problem without any real system of accountability. you know, we've talked about how important it is to have inputs into the bill, but really what we all want is results or outputs. and what we have under this amendment, as i understand it, and as i ask the distinguished senators from tennessee and north dakota, they conceded that because our colleagues on the other side of the aisle object to any sort of contingency between the probationary status and legal permanent residency based upon accom

i've actually proposed an amendment which would strike title 4, the food stamp program, though it's een cleverly renamed the supplemental nutrition assistance program, snap, has a real snap to it, but the gold was not to do away with that program, and in fact, my friend across the aisle, mr. mcgovern, asked me are you wanting to do away entirely with the food stamp or the supplemental nutrition assistance program? and i replied, before the rules committee, on the record, for a television camera, into a microphone, no, i didn't want to do away with that program, but i did feel it needed to have its own time, its own discussion, and not be 80% of a farm bill. but what is really heartbreaking is not that children are not going to have food in america, because whether we bring a farm bill or back -- a farm bill back that separates out the food stamps program so we can deal with it mitt romney saw, was mitt romney, after saying, he's a good man, good family man, but i think he's wrong on these issues, what came back from the drones, the human drones, that were speaking on behalf of the presi
