ICE agents are shooting American mothers in their cars and ICU nurses on their knees. The enforcement side of immigration has become lawless. We need a system that is functional, humane, and predictable. At this point, that means building a whole new one, from the ground up.
Transparency
People navigating the immigration system deserve to know where they stand. Processing times, case status, and the rules themselves should be clear and accessible, not buried in bureaucracy. And we should be honest with the public about where our workforce gaps are and how immigration fits into the economy.
Efficiency
Our backlog is a staffing and systems problem. Courts are overwhelmed, visa processing is outdated, and ICE was given too many unrelated jobs at once. But instead of doing any of them, the agency is killing people in the street. The structure is not just inefficient. It is dangerous and unaccountable.
Affordability
A broken immigration system costs everyone. It costs businesses that can't hire. It costs workers stuck in limbo. It costs taxpayers funding an enforcement-heavy approach that doesn't solve the underlying problems. Smart reform means aligning the system with real economic needs and investing in infrastructure that actually works.
My Plan
- Abolish ICE and redistribute its functions to the Department of Labor, Health and Human Services, and law enforcement agencies with real accountability.
- Create a public dashboard for immigration case processing, so applicants and employers can see real timelines and status updates.
- Expand legal visa pathways in high-shortage fields, so the system reflects actual workforce needs.
- Increase staffing for asylum and visa adjudication, so cases move forward instead of sitting in limbo for years.
- Provide a path to permanent legal status for DREAMers and TPS holders, so people who've built lives here can stop living in uncertainty.
- Modernize border facilities and shift humanitarian processing to appropriate agencies, so enforcement is focused and fair.
