Congress has an obligation to make controversial decisions on how to handle undocumented immigration. Lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle have refused to take the tough votes on the issue for decades. Whether it's been to take advantage of cheap labor or for political purposes, both sides are guilty.

Katie Pavlich

On my father's side, I'm descended from immigrants, one of whom was a Syrian refugee from the Armenian genocide, and my mother was an immigrant from Germany whose visa had expired and, for a year and change, was undocumented here in the U.S.

Alexis Ohanian

I'm concerned about a lot of serious border issues. This book is about the border reality and the struggles of the undocumented worker.

Ana Castillo

No one disagrees that undocumented criminals should be deported.

Ana Kasparian

In states like California alone, the vast majority of undocumented immigrants contribute a great deal to society and the health of the economy.

Ana Kasparian

As a society, we must not allow human rights abuses to go unnoticed and undocumented; it is a vital mission to fight ignorance of these tragic events.

Andy Dunn

All of us take offense to anyone who reaps the rewards of living in America without taking on the responsibilities of living in America. And undocumented immigrants who desperately want to embrace those responsibilities see little option but to remain in the shadows, or risk their families being torn apart.

Barack Obama

It is Trump who plays with the tax code to pay no taxes; it is Trump whose Trump-brand products are made overseas by cheap labor; it is Trump who hires undocumented workers from Poland to work on his projects, then refuses to pay them minimum wages.

Bob Beckel

Very few undocumented workers come here to be unemployed.

I do not support amnesty. I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

Brian Sandoval

I do not support driver's licenses for undocumented immigrants.

Brian Sandoval

If we are going to deport Dreamers, and if we are going to deport undocumented individuals, our economy is going to take a big hit. That is why businesses across the country and in Nevada support immigration reform, support Dreamers, and support passing immigration reform to keep undocumented individuals in our state.

Catherine Cortez-Masto

At the end of the day, it not only doesn't make logical sense to deny licenses to undocumented immigrants, it doesn't make financial sense.

Cheech Marin

I'll never understand how destroying families through deportation benefits our society. How we treat the undocumented says a great deal about us as a people and whether or not we'll continue to fulfill the fundamental American promise of equality and opportunity for all.

Conor Oberst

I think we should be pushing for amnesty and a path to citizenship for every undocumented person residing in the United States who has not committed a violent crime, with a special emphasis on keeping families together.

Conor Oberst

I went through depression, which is something that we don't often talk about when we look at undocumented communities and deported families.

Diane Guerrero

When you're the child of undocumented immigrants, you learn to keep your mouth shut.

Diane Guerrero

I learned at a very young age that my parents were undocumented.

Diane Guerrero

My father, who worked as a dishwasher, was especially anxious. He did not like being here undocumented.

Diane Guerrero

The wise decision by President Obama to grant some undocumented immigrants the right to remain in the United States for two years without the threat of deportation is already benefitting the country.

Eliot Spitzer

In 2007, when I was governor of New York, I proposed that our state once again permit undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver's license. To say the proposal lit a firestorm in the political arena is an understatement.
