Immigrant Rights
We need to address the humanitarian crisis at our border head on, and chart a new path for a safe, orderly, and humane immigration system.
For far too long, our nation’s laws have denied immigrant families basic dignity and human rights. Children have been separated from their families, parents have been deported after decades in this country, and Dreamers have spent years of their lives in limbo.
I support a full overhaul of our inhumane immigration system — including passage of the American Dream and Promise Act, a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S., due process in our immigration system, and a permanent end to xenophobic travel bans. I’m also a proud co-lead of the New Way Forward Act, a landmark piece of legislation that addresses some of the most harmful provisions of immigration law that drive unjust enforcement practices and deportations.
