We must make immigration a legal, orderly process to eliminate this issue, not further criminalize it.

The issue is going to come up on the floor of the House,

We must do everything in our power to keep families together, and to use common sense in our immigration laws. Children deserve better than to lose a parent because of an inflexible law.

I support legal immigration.

I think there is an orderly and dignified way to find out what happened. And, if there was a legal violation there needs to be accountability ... you can't put the cart before the horse, but I would not rule out any form of accountability.

I worked for 'The Chronicle' in San Francisco, and immigration is a big issue in that region.
