Issue Position: Immigration Reform

Issue Position

Marek is one of four children of Polish immigrants. His parents worked hard, followed the rules, and became naturalized citizens. They lived the American Dream and raised four sons who all became productive members of this society.

The demographics of our country are rapidly changing. Our population is aging and baby-boomers are retiring. The ratio of seniors to workers is the highest it's ever been. To keep our economy moving and to fund programs like Social Security, we need more, younger tax payers.

Unfortunately, our current immigration system is broken. We have undocumented workers, without background checks, who don't pay taxes. Companies hiring undocumented workers are rewarded with unfair competitive advantages against those playing by the rules.

Marek supports comprehensive immigration reform. We need a fair and realistic federal immigration process that registers undocumented workers and gets them on a path to citizenship, gets them paying taxes, and creates a level playing field for all companies.
