Immigration
Congressman Johnson is an ally and champion of the immigrant community. He is a staunch supporter of DACA, TPS, refugees and immigrants who come to America for a better life for themselves and their children. He has zero tolerance for children being held in cages at detention centers, where they sleep on the cold floor. Congressman Johnson has zero tolerance for children being jailed and deprived of a human touch. He opposed a Trump policy that deprives children of ever being reunited with their parents. Congressman Johnson believes we are a nation of laws, but we are also a nation of immigrants. Most Americans have parents or grandparents who immigrated to this country, and we know the hardships they faced, from learning the language to dealing with prejudice. He also believes we must secure our borders, require employers to comply with common-sense laws that benefit our country, and expect immigrants who want to stay here to do what people who have come to our shores in search of a better life have always done: obey our laws, learn our language, and pay taxes, while earning the chance to become tax-paying American citizens.
