"We cannot restore confidence in our immigration system until and unless we face up to reality, put ideology aside, and find solutions."

"It is my belief that we can and must try to find a way to enact significant improvements to our immigration system now."

"I could not think of four better witnesses to start off our long goal, quest, to come up with a comprehensive immigration reform bill this year."
