I hope that we, as a committee, as a Congress--not necessarily in this committee, but this Congress--will look at all of the issues that are going on in the immigration system and take care, do the right thing.
DeGette emphasizes the need for Congress to address immigration issues responsibly.

I have emphasized my efforts to fight Trump and his 'MAGA Republican' allies and protect access to abortion.
I feel like my message is getting out to the voters: fighting against Donald Trump, fighting for Medicare For All, and against ICE, and that’s what they care about.
If I could pass Medicare-for-All unilaterally in the minority, I would do it, because I’m an original co-sponsor of that bill. But the frustration people are feeling is with the whole system.
All of these radicals who are coming to the House, thinking they’re going to be able to pass a very broad bill like Medicare-for-All right away, they’re going to run into a brick wall immediately.
