Patrick Leahy actually said...

"We cannot begin comprehensive reform of our immigration laws until we have won control of our borders."

"I do not think anybody, no matter where you are in the political spectrum, feels the system we have today is working perfectly by any means."

"God bless the lawyers. But we do want a solution one way or the other as soon as we can."

"We also have to have immigration laws that are fair, humane, and reflect our American heritage."
