Effects of immigration

“Peggy’s view on immigration is grounded in her Catholic faith and the belief that one should welcome the stranger, especially those seeking harbor from religious or political persecution. Our country was built by immigrants, and the foundation of our rule of law is due process.”

“Our current immigration system is broken and for far too long Washington hasn’t been able to fix it. We must have a strong and secure border, but Peggy is clear that a strong border should not keep us from welcoming new people to the United States. Peggy believes that immigrants are not only vital to the success of Minnesota’s economy, they are part of what makes Minnesota strong and a desirable place to live, work, and raise a family.”

“People don’t come here because they want to take away from America, they come here because they want to build in America – that is what America has always been about.”

“Immigrants aren't deciding whether you can afford health care, gas or groceries, and immigrants sure as hell aren't the reason that working people have been getting screwed in this country my whole damn life”

“As the great-grandson of immigrants, Chris understands that legal immigration helps make our nation stronger. Immigrants enrich our communities, grow our economy, and are vital to the future of this country.”
