Quote by Steven Horsford

“As Dr. King said, an injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. It is that creed of the civil rights movement that still motivates us today...So today, we take up the cause of joining arms with our immigrant brothers and sisters in that spirit... to lend a hand to those who confront injustice as a result of a broken immigration system.”

“Yes, absolutely because we think there is a way to do this through earned legalization without rewarding people who have come in with undocumented status, illegally.

They will become Democrats because of the social programs they'll depend on.”
