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.

Our immigration system is a broken system that needs to be fixed. We need reform that provides hardworking people of good character with a real path towards citizenship.

We must pursue immigration reform - it's something we have to do, something that starts with border security.

I'm for immigration reform. I think the system's horribly broken, and we need to do something about it.

I want to have a good vote in the Senate so we send the message that the Republicans and the Democrats are together in favor of immigration reform.

It is clear that United States immigration policy is badly in need of reform.

I think what we need to do is to have an immigration system where legal immigration is easier.

We want to do this methodically, smart, starting with border security then looking at immigration reform measures.

We need to decouple the movement for comprehensive immigration reform and justice for immigrants from the legislative process and from the Democratic Party process. They are too linked.
