Unfortunately, the current majority party has had the best chance in a generation to fix our broken immigration system, but walked away. Now, President Obama, as did his predecessors, is using his legal executive authority to grant relief to millions of families who support themselves and have deep ties to America. Not only will the President’s action allow immigrant families to no longer live in fear, but it will also make the process easier for high skilled immigrant workers, entrepreneurs and graduates to stay and boost our economy. The President's announcement last night sets the country in the right direction, but let's be clear there still is work to be done. As a member of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus I will continue to work with my colleagues to construct long term policies that are crucial to comprehensive immigration legislation." ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
