Rep. Luiz Gutiérrez (D-IL), an outspoken advocate for immigration reform, applauded House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-VA) on Tuesday afternoon for championing a path to citizenship for undocumented youth.
“Wow, that’s wonderful,” Gutiérrez told reporters. “That’s great. That’s good news, positive news. I’ll have to go on the floor and thank the majority leader.”
“Every day there’s a new step in the right direction. There are people leaving their areas, their zones of comfort and moving — and it’s going to take that to get this done.”
