On the recordNovember 13, 2013
I thank the gentleman from Colorado for yielding time. The issue of immigration reform is a top priority for our Nation and rightly so. It will not only help our economy grow, but it will also help families stay together. I was taken aback earlier today when Speaker Boehner said that the Republican-controlled House has ``no intention of ever going to conference on the Senate immigration bill.'' That is clearly at odds with what the American people want and what the American people need. I just want to recount a bit of my own history.
