If someone tells me that something can't be done, that makes me more determined to do it.
Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
After 9/11, I had just become an American citizen, and I remember sitting in front of my TV set watching the news of the attacks, in tears. I remember thinking to myself, 'Nothing is ever going to be the same in this country for people who look like me.'

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
It is always easier to have somebody to blame, but immigrants are not the cause of the country's economic woes.
Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
Immigrants contribute more than they take. It is a lie that they take public benefits, because they don't qualify for just about every benefit.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
The fact that the immigration issue was the first thing Trump took aim at was a good thing for me, because it's what I spent my life working on. It became a place to see what we've become as a country, and how overreach can actually serve to bring those of us on the Left and Democrats together.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
We the people are sick and tired of the criminalization of immigrants, sick to our hearts to see Trump's family separation policies rip families apart across our country.

Civil rights icons, famous journalists, big-time movie producers may all have credits to their name that we can recognize and be grateful for, but their record of good works cannot excuse their harassment of women.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
Getting a college degree used to be free or low cost because, as a society, we saw providing higher education to young people as an investment - in them and in the future of our own country.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
When bosses, leaders, and powerful men and women ignore or deny the accounts of harassment victims, they reinforce the idea that harassers are playing the game as they should and that the rest of us should fall in line.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
Certainly there are many Congress members who have been arrested in the past on immigration issues and will continue to because we all understand that staying silent is not an option.

Quote by -Pramila Jayapal
Gays and lesbians gained rights in this country though activism and organizing, creating political space and demanding change so that lawmakers and justices could do what they knew was right. That organizing allowed Americans to get to know gays and lesbians as our daughters and sons, our neighbors, and our friends.
