Above all else, immigration is about people. Living in and representing El Paso has allowed me to see the incredible contributions that immigrants make to our communities every single day and I want to share a few of their stories with you: betoorourke.com/immigration/
This is Daisy. She came to the U.S. when she was less than 2 years old and is now studying computer science at UT El Paso. She wants to support our military in cybersecurity but her future is uncertain because she's a Dreamer. Our immigration plan would change that immediately.
Carlos is an immigration attorney. This picture was taken the day he became a US citizen, which he told me was the best day of his life. It took him 18 years to become a citizen because of our outdated and broken system. We need to fix that. Our plan does. betoorourke.com/immigration/
Jose studied medicine in Venezuela but left because of the political climate. Since then, he's opened two clinics in El Paso and a restaurant. With Jose's story in mind, let's do more to empower everyone to contribute to the shared greatness of our communities, economy & country.
Evelyn is a survivor of human trafficking and now helps other survivors build new lives for themselves in the US. We must work with our global partners to fight violence and poverty while bolstering our shared security and prosperity. Our plan does that--> betoorourke.com/immigration/
"I arrived in the U.S. when I was 13 with my mother after we lost our home during Hurricane Wilma. I've always pushed myself to be the best I can be, and when I graduate I want to use my degree to better this country and society."
-David, who is a DACA recipient
