text: Thanks to all of the immigrants and supporters who stood with us in Lady Liberty's shadow today. What a fitting place to rally for comprehensive immigration reforms that will once and for all fix our broken system. The time is now to help bring nearly 11 million undocumented immigrants from across the country out of the shadows and on a path to earned citizenship. As the son of Cuban-American immigrants, I know what's at stake for these workers, families and individuals who want to take the oath of allegiance to our great nation and become citizens. Providing an earned pathway to citizenship is also important for our national and economic security. And as a member of the Gang of 8, I can say we have had tough negotiations, but the progress towards bipartisan comprehensive immigration reform is real. We're almost there and God willing the bipartisan framework we put forward will pass both chambers with strong support and land on the President's desk and be signed into law this year.  The time has come for reform. The political winds are in our favor, and we cannot and should not wait any longer.
