That’s why I support a robust pathway to citizenship for Dreamers through the budget reconciliation process. This summer, in a devastating blow to immigration rights, a Texas Federal Court ruled that DACA is unconstitutional, which highlighted how urgently we need a permanent solution.
In addition, I introduced a bill to keep our promise to diversity visa recipients. Trump’s racist Muslim Ban prevented tens of thousands of these recipients from immigrating to the US. These immigrants play a vital role in our community, and we owe it to them -- and ourselves -- to ensure they are able to come.
