“Try explaining immigration reform to two toddlers living in a shotgun house, or to their parents who work 12 hours a day picking blueberries for minimum wage.

- Byron Pitts , July 5, 2006.

“We see no human being as ‘illegal.’ Those who have arrived to the U.S. with heritage indigenous to the Americas, and specifically those crossing the southern border, are migrants on their own continent.”

- Jose Angel Gutierrez


Illegal aliens should vote.

“These people have some claim to fair representation, whether they’re citizens or not. “You’ve got to represent people whether they’re voters or not.”
