Immigration

Our current immigration system is broken. Nobody wants the status quo. We can probably all agree on this point.

​

For too long, this country has failed to implement a workable system despite the fact that we have known for decades that this is a problem. This is not an easy issue, but the current Administration's cruel, lawless and inhumane approach is NOT a solution. 

​

We must have control over our borders and sovereignty within our country. However, every person in this country is entitled to due process under the law and our Constitution. 

We have to make a workable system to limit and screen those who want to come to our country as immigrants. We have a lot of work to do. 

Most people who have been living in this country for years - hard-working, tax-paying, law-abiding neighbors and friends - not only add to, but are essential for, the success of our economy. They should have a route to normalize their position in our society and should not be living in constant fear of imprisonment and deportation without due process. ​​​​

​​Mass roundups and indiscriminate deportations, arrests on flimsy or non-existent charges, illegal border search and seizure of citizens and innocent visitors alike, are carried out with the goal of terror and intimidation and they are NOT the answer. They are illegal and unconstitutional. And massively unpopular. 

​

Congress could stop all this this TOMORROW, but they are deliberately choosing not to serve the people and the Constitution and the laws of our country.

WE DESERVE BETTER!​
