Issue Position: Restoring American Values to Immigration

Issue Position

Congressman Suozzi has worked on immigration issues since his days as Mayor of Glen Cove. He was previously named as Person of the Year by the New York Immigration Coalition. He is a co-sponsor of and voted for the DREAM Act, which would provide a path to legal status for DACA recipients. He has also co-sponsored, voted for, and helped secure support for several House-passed bills which would end Trump's inhuman and shortsighted border policies, improve conditions at the border, and ensure that newcomers to our country are treated with humanity and respect.

In July 2019, Suozzi visited our southern border to inspect conditions at detention facilities housing migrants where he witnessed conditions that no American would find acceptable. As a first-generation American, Suozzi is a strong voice against the Trump Administration's immigration policies. While he favors strong borders, he is committed to restoring American values to our debate on immigration.
