America must lead by example with a humane immigration and asylum system that respects international human rights and our history as an immigrant nation.
In Congress, I’ve fought for common-sense solutions to our immigration challenges. I support the Dreamers, who have the same rights to the opportunities in our country as anyone else. I continue to back the use of alternatives to detention for vulnerable populations of migrants, to support increased transparency and fairness in the immigration court system, and to defend the vital role immigrants play in American society. We must create a viable pathway to citizenship and bring our neighbors out of the shadows.
