IMMIGRATION REFORM ACT
Title: Immigration Reform Act — Keep the Baby, Drain the Bathwater
​Purpose & Background
Immigration built America—from pre-colonial waves of English, French, and Spanish settlers to today. We would not be the world’s greatest economy and democracy without it.
​
Today, 12 million undocumented workers and their families contribute $350 billion to GDP and $100 billion in taxes annually—with no benefits, yet they thrive.
Mass deportation is appalling—especially the violence, denial of due process, and illegal searches and seizures.
We reform, not destroy.
Keep the baby (economic power) — drain the bathwater (violent crime and fraud).
