Legal immigration

“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.”

“Our border should be like a front porch — it should have a welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We can both welcome the stranger — refugees, asylum seekers, and folks who want to contribute to our economy and pursue the American dream — and we can keep people out who mean to do us harm.”

“We should be cracking down on the cartels, not our communities. We should be deporting gang members, not small business owners. We should be hunting down human traffickers, not moms and babies. We should be stopping illegal immigration, not curtailing avenues for immigrants to legally migrate to America and make our country richer and stronger.”

“Pass comprehensive immigration reform: Secure the border, make it easier to come here legally, and supercharge our economy.”

“Our border should be like a front porch — it should have a welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We can both welcome the stranger — refugees, asylum seekers, and folks who want to contribute to our economy and pursue the American dream — and we can keep people out who mean to do us harm.”

“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.”
