The future of the Republican Party, all the different folks looking to lead the Republican Party at the national level in the future, recognize we should do immigration reform.

I think there's bipartisan support in the Senate to pass a good reform bill.

I absolutely advocate for comprehensive immigration reform.

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.

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.

There is no more an enthusiastic advocate of legal immigration in the U.S. Senate than I am, and that is a message that resonates powerfully in the Hispanic community.

Now that this legislation has passed the House, I look forward to the vote in the Senate that will bring us to Conference, where we can resolve any outstanding issues and make this postal reform reality - for the Postal Service and for all Americans.

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

Immigration reform is a must, an amnesty. So that's my position. I've been pushing that one since before it was popular.

Reform is not for the short-winded. I'm committed to making sure the Senate is more than just a graveyard for good ideas.
