Part of my work has been pushing for comprehensive immigration reform and protections for DACA and TPS recipients. Our immigrant families and neighbors are facing a wave of attacks from the far right, and we need to elect immigration champions to Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
This is not just an immigration issue, it’s a racial justice issue. 1-in-10 Black people in America are immigrants according to the Pew Research Center.
I am a staunch supporter of H.R. 2, the U.S. Citizenship Act: a bold, inclusive, and humane vision for the future of the U.S. immigration system.
My goal as a legislator has always been to lead with empathy and compassion, and that means for ALL of us in America.
