Issue Position: Comprehensive Immigration Reform

Issue Position

As the grandson of immigrants who crossed an ocean for the opportunity offered by America, Jimmy understands that finding a path for immigrants to succeed is fundamental to who we are as a nation. He believes that the time has come for Congress to stop playing politics and get serious about passing common sense immigration reform. America must recognize that children of immigrants born in this country -- the so called "dreamers" -- should have the chance to earn their way to citizenship in this country. The answer is not deporting millions of hard working immigrants -- rather it is creating a path to citizenship for law-abiding families paying taxes and those willing to play by the rules. They have fought to come here -- and many have brought prosperity to their families and the California economy through their hard work and ingenuity. Jimmy's goal is comprehensive immigration reform that strengthens border security, provides effective worker programs, and educational opportunities for the children of immigrants.
