Immigration
The United States is a country made up of immigrants, and it is part of what makes us so strong and vibrant. And while immigration reform remains an unsolved challenge for our nation, the Democratic-led House is leading the way towards comprehensive reform.
In September of 2008, Speaker Pelosi hosted the third annual citizenship workshop in San Francisco, providing free assistance to individuals who are eligible to apply for American citizenship. These newest Americans exemplify what our nation is all about. We gain strength from our newest citizens, and passing comprehensive immigration reform will ensure that America keeps growing stronger. House Democrats look forward to working with President Obama on bipartisan and comprehensive immigration reform.
