The daughter of a nurse and public school bus driver, both union members, Blanca Pacheco grew up in a working class community. Blanca understands the California Dream, because she and her family have lived it.
We need nationwide, comprehensive immigration reform, and we need it now. Too many are still living in the shadows as undocumented individuals who have been living here, working here, while raising and growing a family here. By every measurement, these people are Americans and it’s far past time they are given a pathway to becoming full citizens. In the State Assembly, I will do everything in my power to protect immigrant communities, their rights, and also I’ll be relentless in my advocacy for compassionate immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship.
