I am for an immigration policy that's welcoming and upholds the law.

You do not reform a world by ignoring it.

I put confidence in the American people, in their ability to sort through what is fair and what is unfair, what is ugly and what is un-ugly.

Be bold in your caring, and be bold in your dreaming.

Surely a tired woman on her way to work at six in the morning on a subway deserves the right to get there safely . everyone who changes his or her life because of crime . have been denied a basic civil right.

I have been very happy in the House of Representatives.

A new breeze is blowing, and a nation refreshed by freedom stands ready to push on. There is new ground to be broken, and new action to be taken. There are times when the future seems thick as a fog; you sit and wait, hoping the mists will lift and reveal the right path. But this is a time when the future seems a door you can walk right through into a room called tomorrow.
