'Our outdated immigration policies don't live up to our American values.'

discusses his plan for comprehensive immigration reform in todays @NashuaTelegraph
Most of our families share this same story. Our ancestors knew firsthand that the enduring symbol of our nation is not the barbed wire fence, but the Statue of Liberty. And living through the first and second World Wars, they also knew that our ability to lead the world - and be safe in this world - depends on the strength of the American dream here at home.
But today that dream - one that is fueled by our nation's extraordinary diversity - is being eroded.
Our outdated immigration policies are undermining our economic prosperity and national security, and they don't live up to our American values. That's why, this past week, I released a detailed plan to take action. https://martinomalley.com/the-latest/immigration/
As president, I would use executive action to provide immediate relief to the millions of new Americans waiting for Congress to act, while forging a new consensus for comprehensive immigration reform. I will use all my authorities to safeguard and welcome new Americans - restoring justice and common sense to America's broken immigration system.
