Issues

Michelle is committed to securing our border while treating migrants with dignity and upholding their legal right to seek asylum. We must ensure our law enforcement agencies have what they need to end drug and human trafficking and protect their right to bargain for better working conditions. Our asylum process must be efficient. We need to invest in border infrastructure to ensure all ports of entry can handle the backlog of asylum seekers and refine our enforcement practices to become more conscious of humanitarian needs.

We must pass an earned pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have worked hard and contributed to their communities. We can fix our broken immigration system, treat immigrants seeking the American Dream with humanity, and provide hard-working families with a legal, permanent, and safe path to citizenship.

Additionally, we must stop the political grandstanding with Dreamers who are actively participating and making a positive impact in our economic growth through DACA. It is time to legislate a permanent solution like the Dream Act to fully incorporate them into the American economy.
