The politics, policies, the President [Barack Obama] and the American people are all pointing in the right direction to fix our immigration system and pass legislation this year.

Mr. Speaker, our Nation depends on immigrants' labor, and I hope we can create an immigration system as dependable as they are.

It is not new or unusual for the real Americans, meaning those immigrants who came to America a little bit longer ago, to fear the outsiders, the pretenders, the newcomers.

I have only one loyalty and that's to the immigrant community.

Because the truth is, today's immigrants, as they have for generation after generation, work the longest hours at the hardest jobs for the lowest pay, jobs that are just about impossible to fill.

The Congress talks and talks and talks and talks, but doesn't act. I'm going to continue to work with my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to bring about comprehensive immigration reform.

So given that reality, let us not cast that all of the problems and ills of our society are somehow upon the immigrants who have come to this country.

The next step has to be the necessary step. It's always to put the immigrant community and the civil rights movement ahead of partisan politics.

It is so difficult to, day in and day out, hear these incredibly painful stories of the destructive nature of our broken immigration system.

Uncertainty and fear and ignorance about immigrants, about people who are different, has a history as old as our Nation.

Nothing happens here in this building, in the House of Representatives, if there's no demand from outside the Capitol.

Doing something nice for myself is not selfish.

To show his nervousness was not shameful

His tongue felt good, it tasted good, it was all just good. Not just good. It was better than good. I missed this. I loved kissing and, Lord, did I miss it.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It's a journey of recovery. It's a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It's already there.

We don't even realize something is broken until someone else shows us a better way

I'm not a sun person.

I love everybody. Each one plays the role they have to play.

When I moved to Stanford I began to pursue the line of research I have been following ever since, namely trying to understand the larger implications of fractional quantum hall discovery.

There needs to be clearer communication for the public avout how valuable it [animal testing] is

Don't just tell your kids to be active and to get outside and play. Lead by example.
