I’m writing to urge you to support bold, pragmatic immigration reform that addresses outdated visa quotas, clears the backlogs harming American families and employers, and reclaims control of a system that is no longer serving U.S. interests—or your constituents. The current framework is deeply out of step with reality. For example, the wait time for a U.S. citizen to reunite with a Mexican sibling exceeds 20 years, due entirely to inflexible per-country caps. These are not just numbers—they are votes, workers, caregivers, and future taxpayers locked out by laws written decades ago. This is a rare chance for real leadership. Reforming our immigration system is not only good policy—it’s smart politics. Americans want security, order, and fairness—not dysfunction. Delivering measurable improvements to legal immigration, especially for families and employers, would give you a clear, bipartisan win at a time when gridlock has eroded public trust. There’s also a strong economic incentive. Expanding lawful immigration—particularly for high-need sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and education—will directly support American growth and competitiveness. Just as importantly, addressing immigration responsibly allows you to take control of a narrative that is too often hijacked by fear and misinformation. Migrants are being scapegoated for a system Congress created. You have the power to redirect that conversation toward facts, values, and solutions. I urge you to support the following: • Eliminate the 7% per-country cap to reduce family-based backlogs; • Expand visa availability where demand clearly exists; • Preserve the right to asylum while increasing processing capacity; • Publicly counter disinformation that undermines lawful pathways and community trust. Voters remember when leaders step up and fix what others ignore. This is your moment. Thank you for your time and public service.
