PHOENIX – Sen. Ruben Gallego unveiled a plan Monday to reform the nation’s immigration system and ensure that the southern border is secure.
“We don’t have to choose between border security and immigration reform. We can and should do both,” the Arizona Democrat said in a press release.
Gallego laid out the framework of his proposal in a document titled “Securing the Border and Fueling Economic Security.”
The 22-page document includes an analysis — including a list of recommendations — for each of the following five pillars:
- Secure the border and keep our communities safe.
- Reform the asylum system to end abuse.
- Expand legal pathways to fuel economic prosperity.
- Bring people out of the shadows.
- Address root causes of migration.
