John Conyers actually said...

"I appreciate the fact that the ball is now in our court here in the House."

"We want a path. And at the same time we need to combat the people that would illegally come in, the drug smugglers, the weapons traffickers, and all."

"This is an important hearing, and we know that everybody's currently focused on the Senate Judiciary's markup of S."

"At the Judiciary Committee's first hearing in this Congress, we discussed opportunities for legal immigration as well as enforcement of the law against undocumented immigrants."
