I believe in adopting a compassionate but tough approach to solving the complex problem of immigration.  For years, I have supported the 9/11 Commission’s recommendation to add more and better-equipped border agents.  I also believe that any immigration reform plan that does not deal with the millions of people who are already living and working here is unrealistic.  I believe in creating a path - with real requirements and real accountability - that allows people to legally enter our workforce and penalizes both workers and employers who break the law.  I also support updating our visa system to ensure that workers who fill a vital role in our country's economy are coming here legally – including the use of H-1B visas to ensure the most talented scientists and engineers in the world are working in America, and H-2A visas for temporary agricultural workers, which provide a vital service to one of California’s largest industries.
