I think that's the nature of the speakership, i'm sure they will not be supporting this process, but I think ultimately it will empower them if we're successful and it will help all of us meet the President's challenge( to resolve the issue). ... It's the House's turn to act. Enough waiting around.

Clearly we're headed down a path where there is one party for older white Americans and then there's another party for people of color and immigrants, and this is very dangerous. It divides our society in a dangerous way. It paralyzes our political system.

I don't see any serious plan or strategy to grow the party in urban America, and I see very limited effort to grow the party among the Hispanic community which was a major priority during the George W. Bush years and even afterwards during the Obama presidency. That is now virtually non-existent.

I think in the lame duck, there will be a major opportunity to address this in a definitive way, and I don't think we should underestimate the importance of the work that was done in the Senate when they had their immigration exercise and the work that we did here, that all sets up a possible resolution to all of this after the election. Which would be something to celebrate for sure.

Carlos Curbelo mentioned that Carlos Curbelo daughter Ivanka had encouraged Carlos Curbelo to end this, and he said Carlos Curbelo does recognize that it needs to end and the images are painful and Carlos Curbelo's looking for a legislative solution, carlos Curbelo discussed the optics and the policy itself and I think Carlos Curbelo's not comfortable with either.

That's an issue of great concern to me. And we're still looking for ways to do more to keep families together in this legislation.

Our discharge petition strategy is for us to know we are continuing to pursue that avenue.

Every time we meet, we get a little closer. Sometimes that movement is glacial, so Raul Labrador really have to pay attention to observe it, but there is a way here, there is a way.

This institution should be driven by courage, not by cowardice, and the goal should not be to suppress members from pursuing their legislative goals, it should be to empower each member, and that's what we're trying to do, the goal is to empower each member of the House, including the speaker, to advance the solution that each member believes is the best one for this challenge and to try to gain supporters for that solution. So this is not in defiance of anyone.

Look, I am not into dissing white men, i think that is as bigoted and as discriminatory as discarding or disqualifying minorities and women, so I'm not into that, but I do think that diversity is good, and I do think our party is due to have more minorities and women in positions of leadership.

A lot of members in leadership just want to postpone the inevitable.

The White House has sent a very strong message by preserving the executive order that protects these young people, we know that they’ve been very aggressive when The White House comes to immigration policy, so The White House certainly stands out that they have left the DACA executive order untouched.

This bill will allow Venezuelan nationals who have made a new home in the United States to remain here if they choose to, since it is too dangerous to return home, we have seen young students dying at the hands of President Nicolas Maduro’s brutal, thuggish, corrupt regime.

I commend Speaker Ryan for having the courage to not just fall in line, i think what the Speaker is trying to do is ask and understand what are Mr. Trump’s goals.
