Immigration

The prison to deportation pipeline is a serious problem in our community. Not only have I been directly affected by it, but many people in our community are affected by this every single day. 

• I fully support and will advocate on getting the New Way Forward Act passed, this will help fight the criminalization of immigrants.

• I fully support the Dream and Promise Act which will provide a pathway to citizenship for Dreamers and those under Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departures.

• We need to create a pathway for citizenship for everyone who is currently here undocumented.

• Eliminate the 3/10- year bars, which require undocumented people to leave the U.S and their families behind for years before becoming citizens

• Eliminate the Muslim and Refugee Ban

• We have to protect victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. No human should ever be scared to report an incident in fear of deportation.

• Create better Legal reentry pathways

• We need to put a stop of ICE agents who are prosecuting immigrants when they are on their way to work for Low level crimes.
