The metro Detroit region serves as a shining example of the positive impact of immigration. Our diverse community, made up of individuals from all corners of the globe, collaborates to strengthen our local economy. However, it is evident that our current immigration system is in dire need of comprehensive reform.
I would support measures aimed at securing our borders while also advocating for a pathway to citizenship for those who are already contributing to our society through their work, taxes, and even military service. Dreamers, who are American in every sense except on paper, deserve the opportunity to call the United States their permanent home, as it is the only home they have ever known.
Furthermore,I will support bipartisan proposals that seek to streamline the employment-based green card system, making it more accessible for highly skilled immigrants to come to the United States and contribute to our economy. By attracting and retaining talented individuals, we can foster innovation and drive economic growth.
It is crucial that we address the flaws in our immigration system and enact comprehensive reform that reflects our values as a nation of immigrants. By doing so, we can harness the full potential of our diverse population and build a stronger and more prosperous future for all.
