I remember clearly the afternoon I sat down with Obama. In December 2006, he was preparing for a family trip, and the decision to run weighed heavily on his mind. As a progressive member of Congress from Illinois, I was excited and energized by the prospect of my senator, and my friend, running for president.
Luis Gutierrez
Senator Obama and I had been on the same side of many fights, and we had worked together on the issue that is most urgent to me - comprehensive immigration reform.
Luis Gutierrez
I was the first Latino member of Congress to support Senator Obama's candidacy. For quite a while, I was the only one.

Luis Gutierrez
We should allow DREAMers to declare that they are not criminals, that they want to be here, want to fully participate in their society and get on the books. We should make college, work, and military service available to them.
Luis Gutierrez

Luis Gutierrez
In the immigration debate, some things are constant. They never change. One is that opponents of immigration reform will use it as a wedge issue and will blame everything from unemployment to rising health care costs on immigrants.
Luis Gutierrez
The immigrant blame game is constant. Cynical politicians believe it drives poll numbers; cynical commentators believe it drives TV ratings.
Luis Gutierrez
In the public debate, while commentators and critics have targeted immigrants with blame and bullying, our nation's immigrants have simply kept on working, kept on contributing, and kept on hoping for a solution.
Luis Gutierrez
If immigration reform is bad for America's workers, then why does virtually every group that represents American workers support it so enthusiastically?
Luis Gutierrez
Lots of special interests play the immigrant blame game every day because they like things the way they are and don't see a need for change.
Luis Gutierrez
The American people overwhelmingly want to see smart policy that secures our families, our borders, and our economy.
Luis Gutierrez
We need the federal government to assert their supremacy over the immigration issue and make it clear to state legislatures, cowboy cops, and the American people that the federal government is in charge and effectively enforcing and regulating immigration.
Luis Gutierrez
Obama the President needs to stand up for what Obama the candidate and what Obama the Senator and what Obama the Chicago community organizer stood for and lead the Congress towards reform.
Luis Gutierrez
I am a senior Democratic Member of Congress whose parents were born in Puerto Rico and for whom Puerto Rico self-determination has been - and remains - a central issue of my congressional career.
