Immigrants built this country, and they need to be valued and treated with respect, not denigrated and scapegoated.
We need a comprehensive solution to immigration that will allow people to move through the process in a reasonable amount of time, protect our borders, and not separate families who are seeking asylum in our country.
In the near term, we need a plan to protect our DREAMers. These young people have been and will continue to be contributors to our community and economy. They exemplify what is best about our state.
