Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

Washington has failed to find a permanent solution to our immigration crisis. For too long, our approach to immigration has been piecemeal and mostly driven by executive orders. But this has not worked. What we need is an Immigration Reform Plan that addresses the problem on all fronts. We must tackle border security in a humane manner -- without separating families -- swiftly remove criminal aliens and correct visa overstay, while establishing a work authorization for the undocumented and a permanent solution for DACA recipients.
It is also important that we have an honest conversation with Central American nations with the goal of identifying solutions that will stem the wave of immigrants seeking asylum in the U.S. Any assistance we provide to these countries should be tied to actions and, most importantly, measurable outcomes that bring about the kind of changes and transformation that will make it worth for the citizens of those nations to stay in their home country.
