I think a number of the states are acting because the Congress has failed to act.

Yes. We have a zero tolerance policy for sexual harassment or misconduct by detention officers.

the purpose of the litigation we have undertaken is--the underlying principle is that it is for the Federal Government to set immigration law enforcement priorities.

We want to prioritize those who are criminals, those who are fugitives, those who are repeat violators.

It would be impossible to deport all of the immigrants in the United States who are undocumented.

President Obama is firm in his commitment to advancing immigration reform, and I personally look forward to working with this Committee and with the Congress to achieve this goal.

President Obama has called the DREAM Act, 'the right thing to do for the people it would affect and the right thing to do for the country.'

The case for the DREAM Act is strong, and there are many ways in which this legislation is important for our country.

Yes, and the President has been very firm on this. In meeting with groups that very much want him to accomplish a DREAM Act administratively, he has said no. This is for the Congress to debate and to decide.

Passage of the DREAM Act would allow us to focus even more attention on true security and public safety threats.

I think it could not be more wrong, and I do not know where he gets his information, but the enforcement record of this administration is unparalleled.

It is common-sense legislation. It has been supported, at least in the past, by Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
