Pathway for illegal immigrants; legal status for DREAMers

Q: Do you support a path to citizenship for people who came into the country illegally?

Greenfield: We need to modernize our immigration system. We need to modernize our visa system and shorten up that path.

Q: Does that mean a path to citizenship or does that mean legal status?

Greenfield: That means that we're working on those paths to citizenship and for our Dreamers, they need to have a legal status, people need to be working towards that.

Fix immigration system; support DREAMers and border security

Our immigration system is broken and needs to be fixed. Theresa is committed to working with both parties on a plan that is true to our American values, fair to taxpayers, tough on workplace enforcement and border security, and rooted in practical solutions. Theresa will stand up for supporting the DREAM Act and will focus on keeping families together.
