I wholeheartedly support comprehensive immigration reform that contains a pathway to citizenship and focuses on family reunification. I will advocate for an approach that doesn’t saddle families with exorbitant fees or with the burden of providing documents that are difficult to secure. In other words, the policy shouldn’t be so stringent and expensive that it limits the amount of people who can apply.

I will work with labor and immigrant’s rights advocacy groups to establish funds that can assist applicants with legal services and application fees. 

As a Congresswoman, I will work to ensure that our local law enforcement, health services, courts or social welfare offices keep their commitment to not cooperate with ICE. 

We need to support frontline workers, small business owners, immigrant entrepreneurs, and young people. I will work with local chambers of commerce to promote Federal programs that can assist their business with technical support and access to capital. And I will listen carefully to see what the barriers are to them accessing support and capital. These policies have always been a priority for me as a local elected official and I will continue to expand on them in Congress.
