I strongly believe in the importance of addressing systemic racism in our nation, and taking proactive, intentional steps to rectify the injustices that have been deeply ingrained in our institutions for far too long. Likewise, our immigration system should be rooted in the principles of human dignity and compassion, valuing the contributions of immigrants rather than alienating them. It's time for comprehensive, humane immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who have long been a vital part of our social and economic fabric.
