Benjamin Johnson Quotations

If it is not a problem for employers to pay workers a decent wage, then there should be no problem in using the program.

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.

If the program doesn't make any sense and the expectation to the workers and the employers are so out of sync with reality, that's a failed program.

I don't know if there's going to be 'the big one,' but if anything starts to happen . . . we want to be in front of it and get the information out there. If you get the information a half a day late, it doesn't allow you to get ready or prepare.

The hardening of the borders makes people far less likely to make that trek more than once. They're integrated into families. They have children born here and sometimes legal spouses. (The House bill) would have a profound effect on American families.
