As a member of Congress's bipartisan "Gang of 8" working on an immigration reform proposal, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system. We need Sen. Graham to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers.

They are Americans-in-waiting who are ready to fulfill the requirements of our citizenship process - to study English, pay taxes, maintain a good record and be of good moral character. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

Unlimited contributions from corporations, unions, and other organizations to political candidates harm the ability of average citizens to have a voice in their own government. Prior to the landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling of Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, unlimited independent expenditures from corporations and unions were prohibited. Now, corporations and unions can make unlimited independent expenditures supporting or opposing a candidate for office, and unless the U.S. Supreme Court changes this ruling, the only way to reverse the harmful effects of the decision is to amend the Constitution of the United States.
