We have to reform our broken immigration system and provide a path to citizenship for the millions of hardworking undocumented people who dream of becoming American citizens. Today, House Democrats are setting out to do just that via the Dream and Promise Act.
If passed, it would create a path to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as children, and those who have sought humanitarian refuge here.
This country was founded by immigrants leaving their homes in search of a better life.
The Dreamers who arrived here as children are American in everything but their paperwork. They work hard, pay taxes, and contribute to the fabric of this nation.
Now, we have the opportunity to create a pathway to citizenship for these undocumented Americans.
