"Recognize — and I know that Kamala Harris knows this — this is a problem that ultimately has to be solved by Congress. I believe we need to create a pathway to citizenship," Warren was quoted as saying.
"All of that is part of what we need to do for comprehensive immigration reform. Kamala Harris will work with Congress and get that done," she continued.
