These unions are making a concerted effort to organize. It's the only sector of the union movement that's really growing. The hospitality industry is really dependent on undocumented workers.

Niall O'dowd
By an overwhelming percentage, legal immigrants don't have bad feelings toward the undocumented.

Sergio Bendixen
Our biggest fear is that the other issue -- the undocumented workers -- bogs down and threatens the entire bill.
Ralph Hellman
I do not knowingly employ undocumented workers. That's absolutely not my style.
David Penry
A lot of times, they don't really understand what the difference is. The children who were brought (into the United States) early don't think of themselves as different. Most undocumented children find out when they are sophomores (in high school) and everybody is talking about college and applying for financial aid. That's when they find out they don't have a Social Security number.
Iliana Holguin
We've seen a fairly steady growth in the number of undocumented immigrants living here, and this data shows very sizable numbers coming in.

Paul Lopez
Undocumented immigrants do pay taxes, and they do contribute to the economic, social and cultural developments of their communities.
Peta Ikambana
I feel very sorry for innocent children who through no fault of their own find themselves undocumented. But not going to college is not a passport to failure. We have to set some rules. We can't educate the whole world.
Frank Hargrove
The Democratic legislators are going to have to explain why they took out a competent, Democratic ... director purely because they are focused on getting this driver's license bill for undocumented workers. It's a prime example of Democratic lawmakers playing politics as opposed to focusing on good public policy.
Margita Thompson
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
This hits so close to home because if they're undocumented or their parents, their aunts, their neighbors or their friends ... they see this as an attack on their community and they're trying to show their concern about it.
Luis Alejo
The gap between those expenses claimed and reimbursed that could be justified and documented and those that were inappropriate, undocumented or erroneously charged was too great to ignore.
James Robbins
We have no doubt that the clear and unambiguous language of [state law] encompasses undocumented aliens.
Robert Bell
We found that the spending of undocumented immigrants in the Chicago metro area accounted for about 31,000 jobs every year.
Nik Theodore
Since we are on the front lines and have undocumented workers, it (legislation) will point the way for businesses to come here. They will not have to worry about a potential illegal workforce. They will have a legal workforce.
Farrell Quinlan
States and counties routinely bear the costs associated with incarcerating undocumented criminal aliens once they enter the criminal justice system.
Michael Crapo
The problem in agriculture in Florida is, every year we have 15,000 to 20,000 new workers who enter and all those new workers are undocumented from Mexico and Central America.
Rob Williams
It's illegal to be here undocumented. Whose fault is it? Well, yes, it's certainly their fault, those who are here that are undocumented. but it's also the fault of the federal government.
Rep. Alan Powell
It's very complex - P2P is very large objects, very long sessions, undocumented protocols, it's very demanding. Your average copy of Squid or Microsoft ISA is not capable of dealing with P2P.
Andrew Parker
Many of them are undocumented.
Barbara Sullivan
A lot of people are surprised that the Irish are involved in this issue, but we actually have a very significant undocumented population in proportion to the legal Irish-born population.
Niall O'dowd
There is no good information on the undocumented. This is intrinsically a hard-to-survey population.
John Mollenkopf
If passed, the HR 4437 would permit the government to prosecute almost anyone who has regular contact with an undocumented person by broadening the definition of alien smuggling to include family members, employers, and immigrant advocates. These provisions are likely to drive undocumented immigrants further underground and increase their vulnerability to exploitation.
Joyce Miller
There's a clear consensus that we should give (undocumented workers) a path to citizenship. There's bipartisan support.
Mark Dicamillo
It is neither realistic nor desirable to round up and deport 11 million people, but the Specter proposal will exclude many undocumented [people] from ever becoming part of America's future, thereby perpetuating the problem of illegality the bill must solve.
Angela Kelley
They are pushing people into more remote areas where the chances of being rescued are minimal. All they have accomplished 11 years later is the shifting of undocumented traffic from densely populated areas to the most remote areas.
Claudia Smith
Of course there is a problem of undocumented migrants, but to go after them and attack them is the lowest form of opportunism I have seen in years in California.
Christian Ramirez
When we hire contractors, we expect them to abide by the law. Obviously, we are dismayed they hired undocumented workers.
Marty Heires
Employers are often able to deter workers from contesting labor violations by threatening to turn them over to federal immigration authorities. Even when employers do not make these threats overtly, day laborers, mindful of their undocumented status, are reluctant to seek recourse through government channels. We want to change that.
Nik Theodore
I don't think having detention camps and getting rid of 11 million undocumented [workers] makes sense. Too many of our businesses rely on them.
Brad Baldia
When (raids like that) happen, it instills lots of fear in undocumented workers. That brings the jitters, and the rumors spread very quickly in an alarming proportion.
Ramon Cardona
It wouldn't just be the 12 million undocumented immigrants that are subject to a felony prosecution. It would be lots of other people ... who are temporarily out of status or whose violations of immigration law were very innocent.
Benjamin Johnson
He better understand how the U.S. society works and clicks to be able to protect the 8 million undocumented Mexicans in the United States.
Arturo Sarukhan
It is to show the amount of work, the purchasing power, the contributions that illegal and undocumented workers make on a daily basis.
Chris Banks
Clear and unambiguous language of (the law) encompasses undocumented aliens.
Robert Bell
There are forces in the state that want to strip away workers compensation benefits for undocumented workers. Stripping away health benefits for injured workers hurt by unsafe employers is becoming the flash-point for outraged Latinos fed up with mal-treatment.
Barbara Clark
We don't want to go from being poor, undocumented workers to being poor, documented workers. It's not going to give us health care; it's not going to give us the overtime employers are not paying us.
Jorge Mujica
A lot of the policy discussion seems to assume that once this bill is passed, some of the undocumented aliens will simply leave the country and others will stop coming.
Marc Levinson
We will be looking in the future, in the near future, at more employers who are hiring illegal aliens. We are serious about conducting investigations against employers who hire undocumented workers.
Scott Hatfield
The majority feel the immigration debate is somewhat unfair and based on misinformation -- for example, that most undocumented are on welfare, which is not true. Legal immigrants feel there is a thin line between anti-undocumented and anti-immigrant.
Sergio Bendixen
Although the U.S.-Mexico Border Counties Coalition was founded nearly a decade ago because of the high costs border counties bear to incarcerate criminal undocumented aliens and provide emergency medical care to undocumented immigrants, we want to take this opportunity to remind Congress, and the nation, that immigration is only one issue that affects the border.
Greg Cox
A hermetically sealed border ... would be astronomically expensive and (ineffective), considering our heavy reliance on undocumented labor for an increasingly diverse range of labor-intensive industries. It runs counter to our economic reality.
Claudia Smith
We chose to record The Star-Spangled Banner to show our solidarity with the undocumented immigrants and their quest for basic civil rights, as well as to say thank you for their contribution to our comfort and our dreams.
Adam Kidron
Unfortunately, it is unclear whether federal law would allow us to offer in-state rates to undocumented aliens. It would be unwise for us to move forward on this bill until the lawsuit against a similar bill in California is settled.
Shirley Turner
It's going to be a long reconstruction in New Orleans and here. People are coming with their children. Some have lost documents. Some are undocumented.
Jose Lagos
If it weren't for them mowing the lawns and doing the things they do, all the prices for services will go up. People are talking about how we'll save money on social services (without undocumented workers), but I see them working hard. They should get a fair shot at becoming legal.
Kent Jones
To see the senator from New York, which is clearly an immigrant state, take a position that harsh is not the real solution. The flow of undocumented immigrants into our country will not be stopped by putting up a fence along the Mexican border.
Gouri Sadhwani
It's not just about undocumented workers, it's about human beings and basic rights.
Pedro Hernandez
We don't want half measures, we demand an amnesty, the immediate and unconditional legalization of the 12 million undocumented workers who work in this country.
Nativo Lopez
There was a huge expansion in the jobs that the undocumented did.
Jeffrey Passel
If passed, HR 4437 is likely to drive undocumented immigrants further underground and increase their vulnerability to exploitation by broadening the definition of alien smuggling to include family members, employers, and immigrant advocates.
Joyce Miller
The spending of undocumented immigrants, as it ripples through the economy, accounts for a $5.4 billion dollars in the Chicago metro area annually.
Nik Theodore
In Texas, (undocumented students) are allowed to attend college but they won't be able to work in the U.S. even if they graduate with a 4.0.
Daniel Osorio
We should treat the undocumented workers like human beings.
Carmen Gonzalez
The proposed bill has two targets, those already here and others from overseas. As you know, undocumented immigrants are everywhere. I'm not sure that being on the border helps or impedes the process. It should not be a burden.
Emilio Gonzalez
[The Foley campaign has criticized Hennessey for accepting the endorsement of Ray Wysolmierski, president of the Greater Farmingville Community Association, who compared undocumented workers to terrorists.] We have significant political differences, ... I'm happy I've been able to get his support in the general election.
Edward Hennessey
