Political Quotes

“I appreciate the gentleman's yielding. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to bring up H.R. 15 to demand a vote on the bipartisan immigration reform bill that reduces our deficit by $900 billion over the next 2 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, and $200 billion in the first year, and gives people an opportunity to participate out of the shadows of government and yet, be taxpaying citizens out in the front of society and be Americans who contribute to our economy and provide workers that we need to be a 21st century economy that is effective in keeping us as the world's number one economic power.
