"Every day that we fail to reform our immigration system is another day that we're holding back the economy."

"We need Congressional action that creates a clear, attainable pathway for people like me to obtain permanent residence."

"the future of our economy, for those who come here for a better life, and for American citizens, depends on our ability to come together to fix this outdated and broken system."

"It would be smart to listen to the economists, and business leaders, who are sounding the alarm on our labor shortage."
