我问CJ，秘诀是什么。他说，我们比他们更强悍而已。我喜欢这样的回答。

Now let's get Congress to send you — and all of the people in this great chamber¹ have to do it, we have no choice.

现在，让全体国会，让这个大厅里的所有人为你——我们必须这么做，我们没得选择。

CJ, we're going to send you reinforcements and we're going to send them to you quickly. It's what you need.

Over the next few weeks, the House and Senate will be voting on an immigration reform package.
