For more than 30 years, Washington has failed to fix our broken immigration system. That is why I have reintroduced the Dignity Act — a bold, bipartisan immigration reform plan that secures the border, enforces the law, and creates a realistic path forward for those who earn it.
The American people deserve safety at the border, fairness under the law, and dignity for those who contribute to our country. The Dignity Act delivers all three.
Here’s what my bill does:
✅ Secures the Border by fully funding modern technology, infrastructure, and personnel to stop illegal crossings and drug trafficking.
✅ Enforces the Law to restore accountability and protect American workers.
✅ Creates a Path Forward for undocumented immigrants who have been here for years — allowing them to earn legal status through work, paying restitution, and contributing to society — without a path to citizenship and only if they have no criminal record.
This legislation proves that we can be tough and compassionate at the same time. We can secure the border while also recognizing the contributions of millions of people who are already part of our communities.
America is a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants — the Dignity Act honors both.
I will continue fighting every day in Congress to fix our immigration system, protect our workers, and preserve the American Dream for future generations.
