Rep. Trey Gowdy: Support immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship

Support immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the US without papers. Instead of focusing only on the border, we need a new approach that is better for families and makes more economic sense.

Why is this important?

Trey Gowdy from South Carolina is the Immigration Subcommittee Chair in the House. This means Rep. Gowdy will have a major role fixing our broken immigration system.

We need Rep. Gowdy to support a pathway to citizenship for the 11 million immigrants currently living in the United State without papers.

Most of these immigrants have lived in this country for more than a decade and have come to America to seek a better life for their families. 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.
