John Conyers actually said...

"The Senate passed S. 744, a bipartisan immigration reform bill, in June, 139 days ago."

"Republican leadership has pledged to take no action on the bill."

"Republican leadership intends to bring no immigration bill to the floor before the end of the year because there isn't enough time on the calendar."

"Emancipation was not a 1-day event; it was a promise, a promise written in the blood of all who lived in bondage and all who died to end it."
