  • "I support the bipartisan Dream Act, which would allow anyone who came here before age 18 and has been here for four years to get conditional, permanent residency and apply for a green card, as long as they are working or in school and don’t commit a crime. […] I think that would give these young people the legal coverage they need and deserve." (www.suezwahlen.com)
  • "We need a comprehensive solution to immigration that will allow people to move through the process in a reasonable amount of time, protect our borders, and not discourage the influx of talent and energy from around the world that has made our country great." (www.suezwahlen.com)
