Broken Quote by Catherine Cortez-Masto

“We know that the United States Senate has passed comprehensive immigration reform. We know it can happen. And that, to me, is what we need to do. We have a broken immigration system. And I say this because we are a country that has always opened our doors. That's who we are.” quote by Catherine Cortez-Masto
