Senator Rob Portman: Support a pathway to citizenship for ALL immigrants
Support immigration reform with a pathway to citizenship for ALL immigrants currently living in the US without papers.
Why is this important?
Senator Rob Portman could be a key vote this year on legislation to fix our broken immigration system, but we don't know where he stands on the issue.
We need Senator Portman to publicly support a pathway to citizenship for ALL immigrants currently living in the United States 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 to immigration reform that includes families and helps the economy too.
