I do agree with President Trump that our immigration system is broken and Congress must come together to pass comprehensive immigration reform. We must find a compassionate solution to fix the DACA program,without letting anyone jump the line, and I urgedSpeaker Ryan to do just that by bringing a bill to the House floor. Earlier this year, I voted for legislation that enhances border security measures, creates a merit-based immigration system, protects DACA youth from being deported, and ends the practice of family separation at the border.Congress - both Republicans and Democrats - must address these issues immediately. It is our Constitutional duty. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
