Immigration Reform:
As a nation of immigrants, all Americans identify with the hopes and dreams for freedom and opportunity that have drawn people to our shores for over 200 years. Yet today, the legitimate aspirations of future Americans are undermined by millions of people who break our laws and flaunt our system to enter, live, and work in our communities illegally. When illegal immigrants 'cut in line,' they therefore hurt people who obey the laws by pushing them to the back of the line.
Irrational policies have driven down wages, stolen jobs, cost taxpayers billions, and harm people throughout the world who seek legal citizenship in America. While Debbie Wasserman Schultz fights for amnesty for those who have broken our laws, hardworking Americans pay the price.
As a member of Congress, Joe Kaufman will fight for the rights of legal immigrants and insist we never reward those who break our laws.
