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.

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

The next step has to be the necessary step. It's always to put the immigrant community and the civil rights movement ahead of partisan politics.

According to the Privacy Rights Center, up to 10 million Americans are victims of ID theft each year. They have a right to be notified when their most sensitive health data is stolen.

We need to build bridges between the LGBT community and the larger immigrant community. In the end, the bigger the tent we build, the more successful we'll be.

So given that reality, let us not cast that all of the problems and ills of our society are somehow upon the immigrants who have come to this country.

There is this kind of sense in the immigrant community, first we were going to do immigration reform, but then 9/11 happened.
