Reform system top to bottom to be safer & more inclusive
We need to reform our immigration system from top to bottom and make sure our country is not only safer, but also more inclusive of, immigrants. The first thing we need to do is provide a pathway to citizenship for American Dreamers. This is a long
overdue action for people who, through no fault of their own, find their path to the American Dream blocked. Then, we should offer comprehensive immigration reform that re-establishes a fair and orderly process to achieve the American dream.
In 2017, Messam took measures to combat President Donald Trump's immigration policy within his city.
He proposed regulations preventing immigration officials from entering city buildings and pre-kindergarten schools without a warrant.
