Rep. Cuellar on Immigration Reform: ‘Doing Nothing Is Not an Option’

‘If we don’t do something, nothing is going to change ... I’d rather take baby steps, but I’d rather do something than just sit here and do nothing’

“Hopefully, when we come back, we can get that messaging out on both sides of the parties, both sides, and then we can sit down and work it, because if we don’t do something, nothing is going to change if we sit down and do nothing. Doing nothing is not an option. I'd rather take baby steps, but I rather do something than just sit here and do nothing. And the American public -- and I know this -- every time I go home, they say, 'Henry, what’s wrong with you guys, what’s wrong with you guys?' Problem is we don’t know how to sit down and work together and hopefully that will change.”
