All Americans make America great, including immigrants. We must increase H1B ten fold and eliminate country quotas. Make it easy to check immigration status, give EAD to all green card applicants, and quadruple USCIS staffing budget to expedite legal immigration. This is how you.

MAGA Republicans have hijacked the H1-B visa discourse to promote their racist and xenophobic agenda. It’s wrong and must be called out. We should be attracting legal, talented immigrants to support American businesses.

Any cabinet nominee who cannot pass a FBI background check should not be confirmed by the United States Senate. It’s really that simple. There’s no reason why such a background check should not occur.

As a member of the House of Representatives, I believe that the House Ethics Report into Matt Gaetz and his sex trafficking allegations should be shared with the Senate Judiciary Committee.
