We are committed to a pluralistic society, diverse nation
We are committed to a pluralistic society defined by its ideals and welcoming to immigrants rightfully seeking safety, opportunity, and a better life by becoming contributing members of our diverse nation.
We reject the notion that America should be defined by the races, birthplaces, religious affiliations, or partisan identities of its founders or groups of citizens.

Secure our borders and enforce our laws
Our immigration system must secure our borders and enforce our laws as a basic matter of national security and rule of law. Once our borders are secure, we can begin a national debate on developing a system where law-abiding people
can seek a path to legal residence and in some cases citizenship. Our immigration policies should give preference to people who bring unique skills, innovative ideas, technologies and companies to our country.
