Nothing is more important to me than keeping all families safe and secure. I am willing to consider any common sense proposal on how to make our country safer, but border enforcement does not require a physical wall. Demonizing immigrants and turning to the politics of fear-mongering does nothing to keep us safe and only serves to divide us. Those who cross our borders must be treated with humanity.
In Congress, we must put aside partisan differences to reform our immigration system in a way that protects our border and meets our country's economic needs, while providing a fair pathway to citizenship and keeping families together.
