Everyone has a right to come to the United States and pursue the American dream to make a better life for themselves, but they must do so legally. We are a nation of immigrants and a nation of laws. Eric knows we need a compassionate response to immigration reform that embraces and treats people with dignity and respect. In Congress, Eric will support fixing the family visa backlog, protect DREAMers through continued support of DACA and DAPA, and protect our border by focusing resources on detaining and deporting individuals who pose a violent threat to public safety. Immigrants helped build this country and they’re what make America great. We must continue to welcome the contributions of immigrants to American growth and prosperity, while also securing our border.
