We are a nation of immigrants. We built this country by embracing and celebrating different heritages and backgrounds and not letting those difference get in the way of the work that lays before us. I support comprehensive immigration reform in Congress that ends illegal entry into the country, and effectively addresses the reality that 12 million undocumented individuals already live within our borders. I have cosponsored legislation in the House that reforms our broken immigration system, grows our GDP by almost $1 trillion in the next decade, and creates 121,000 new jobs each year for the next ten years
