People think that every day we pass monumental legislation. Oftentimes, the most important thing that you have done that day is help a family with a visa.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Immigration is important. We're a nation of immigrants.
It is vitally important that we implement immigration reform. We need a bill that strengthens our borders and protects this nation, but that also makes it simpler for good people to become Americans.
As the 109th Congress continues to debate legislation that will affect the lives of immigrants, it is important for us to remember that we are a nation of immigrants.
For the undocumented immigrants, the big priority is just to get out from the shadows, be able to get a driver's license, buy an airplane ticket and stop worrying about sudden deportation. But for the country as a whole, it's crucial that everybody have a citizen's stake in the nation's welfare.
Immigration is a good thing. We should make that as easy as possible.
In the best of all worlds everyone in the Embassy is doing something to assist U.S. exports.
We must do everything in our power to keep families together, and to use common sense in our immigration laws. Children deserve better than to lose a parent because of an inflexible law.
I'm a big believer in family-based immigration.
It's a significant contribution if we can get immigration reform done.
If we don't enforce visa laws, we basically have open borders.
