Immigration Reform
Immigrants are an integral part of our nation's history, culture, and economy. They strengthen America and contribute greatly to our success. However, the current immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed.
Immigrants are our neighbors and colleagues, soldiers and first responders, doctors, lawyers, farmers and entrepreneurs. They deserve the opportunity to earn their American Dream. That's why I'm proud to be an original cosponsor of several immigration reform bills.
As a nation of immigrants, we have a responsibility to foster dignity and respect for all newcomers to America. I will continue working with members of both parties, in the House and in the Senate, to enact comprehensive immigration reform that secures our borders and provides an earned pathway to lawful status for immigrants who work hard and play by the rules.
