Issue Position: Immigration Reform

Issue Position

I am the proud husband to an immigrant to the United States from Colombia. My wife, Paula, is a shining example of the importance of legal immigration. Immigrants not only enrich our culture and diversity, but they also add wealth to our nation through human capital and innovation. However, breaking the law is unacceptable. That is why securing the border to stop trespassing and narco-trafficking should be a national priority. At the same time, we must also streamline the legal immigration process for those immigrants willing to relocate to the United States legally.

Encouraging the international migration of capital and innovation to the United States is imperative, but it must be done through an orderly and legal process. We are a country of laws and providing incentives to circumvent those laws will do irreparable damage to our system of governance.
