Chuck Schumer actually said...

"I think the American people would accept a fair, reasonable path to citizenship for the illegal immigrants who are here."

"A well-functioning immigration system is not only a part of America's legacy; it is also critical to our country's future."

"I think most Americans, at least the polling data I have seen and talking to people, their greatest fear is not this time's path to citizenship."

"We might be able to get something done that really stands by the basic view that Americans support, like legal immigration and do not like illegal immigration."
