Millions of immigrants in our country want citizenship. But under our broken immigration laws, they have no way to earn it. I personally know some hardworking immigrants, and I think it’s hurting our country to keep them living in the shadows.
That’s why I’m calling on Congress to pass a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States and vote in favor of reform this year.
We need real solutions, and rounding up 11 million people, asking them to self-deport or creating a permanent noncitizenship underclass is inhuman — not to mention unrealistic.
That’s why I hope Rep. Joe Heck will do the right thing and join the Republicans co-sponsoring House Resolution 15, the new immigration bill.
