It is so difficult to, day in and day out, hear these incredibly painful stories of the destructive nature of our broken immigration system.

Nothing happens here in this building, in the House of Representatives, if there's no demand from outside the Capitol.

So where are they moving today? They're going to move to be meaner to immigrants in order to bring their conference together.

The Congress talks and talks and talks and talks, but doesn't act. I'm going to continue to work with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to bring about comprehensive immigration reform.

The politics, policies, the President [Barack Obama] and the American people are all pointing in the right direction to fix our immigration system and pass legislation this year.

Uncertainty and fear and ignorance about immigrants, about people who are different, has a history as old as our Nation.

I have only one loyalty and that's to the immigrant community.
