  • Any comprehensive immigration reform policy has to be one in which immigrants are treated fairly, humanely, and have access to our legal system.

    — Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard
    34th Congressional District of California

  • America has always prized how we treat people...and I think if most Americans understood what was happening, they would want it to stop immediately.

    — Karen Narasaki
    Asian American Justice Center

  • We need to have judicial discretion… discretion doesn’t guarantee that everyone will remain here but it does guarantee that everyone will have a fair hearing.

    — Judge Bruce Einhorn, retd.
    Immigration Judge

  • When the rights of any one person are violated, the rights of all of us are in jeopardy…that will quickly come back to haunt us.

    — Anthony Romero
    ACLU

  • Deportation has been compared to the courts to banishment, exile. It's an extremely serious consequence that the immigrant judge has to decide.

    — Judge Dana Marks
