Immigration

Congress hasn’t reformed our antiquated immigration laws in decades! El Paso has witnessed firsthand the impact of a broken immigration system. That is why I’m proud to support and put forth policies that help progress comprehensive immigration reform.

During my time in Congress, I have introduced the Dignity Act— a historic, bipartisan immigration reform bill which:

Manages the border by reforming outdated immigration processes;
Ensures Border Patrol agents are back out on the line instead of performing administrative and humanitarian tasks;  
Invests $10 billion in infrastructure and technology at our land ports of entry;
Ensures El Pasoans don’t shoulder the cost of housing migrants by making the Shelter and Services Program permanent;  
Creates additional pathways to citizenship, including a path to citizenship for DREAMers, legal protections through the new Dignity program, Certified Agricultural Worker status, and an option to pursue citizenship through service in the armed forces for interested Dignity recipients;  
Establishes new pathways for asylum seekers and creates new regional processing centers in Latin America;  
Creates new legal pathways for economic migrants and unaccompanied minors.

In addition to the Dignity Act, I've also:

Cosponsored the Dream and Promise Act;
Cosponsored the U.S. Citizenship Act;  
Introduced the Homeland Security Improvement Act;  
Introduced the American Families United Act; 
Introduced the Reimagining Asylum Processing Act
