Americans are better off when everyone is given the opportunity to succeed and allowed to contribute. Yet our harmful immigration system holds us back by preventing millions of people from realizing their full potential. We need a system that upholds our country's best values and actually works.
In just 20 years, meaningful immigration reform would decrease the federal deficit by $1.2 trillion.
If we passed meaningful immigration reform today, the U.S. would see over three million new jobs created over a decade.
If Dreamers were given citizenship, $1 trillion would be added to the U.S. economy.
40% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children.
We are committed to creating a fair, clear, and modern immigration system that unlocks opportunity for all Americans. That means protecting and improving existing legal immigration avenues, augmenting sensible border security and law enforcement, prioritizing real and serious public safety threats, and providing an earned pathway to citizenship for the the 11 million undocumented people living in the U.S.
Reform would create millions of jobs, reduce the deficit, allow for innovation to keep the U.S. globally competitive, and would keep millions of families together.
Americans will be better off if there is a fair and clear process for undocumented immigrants — almost all of whom just want to work hard and build better lives for their families — to earn citizenship over a period of time. It is absurd and against our country’s best values to pursue a policy that deports as many people as possible and tears these families apart.
The fact is a majority of Americans support common sense immigration reform. So why hasn't it happened? This isn’t an inherently unsolvable problem. We understand the flaws and we have solutions. What stands in our way is a lack of political will and urgency. That's where we come in. We grow and galvanize political support to break through partisan gridlock to achieve meaningful reforms — because those most impacted can’t afford to wait. So, we engage and energize constituencies that cross party, racial, religious and geographic lines to make sure reform gets done as quickly as possible. Through our state teams, University Program, and Community Accelerator, we’re activating local supporters to demand the change our country needs.

If we want to move America forward, we need an immigration system that will allow all Americans to thrive.
Immigrants aren't just our friends, co-workers, and valuable members of our communities. They're us.
