Issue Position: Immigration

Issue Position

* What Ben will do: The federal immigration system is broken. Ben thinks it's time for bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform. He wants secured borders, higher legal immigration, undocumented immigrants to come out of the shadows and more recognition of the important role immigrants play in the U.S. economy.

* Nearly 10,000 young adults in Utah have enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. These are youths who came here through no fault of their own and are studying, working, serving in the military and contributing to our community. Ben thinks it's past time for Congress to resolve the uncertainty they face. The approach needs to strengthen and unite families and allow DACA recipients to continue building their futures.
