30 Issues: How Would a Democratic Congress Change Immigration Policy?
Adriano Espaillat, U.S. Representative (D, NY 13), discusses the Democrats' plan for immigration policy if they win the house.Â
.@RepEspaillat expresses support for #AbolishIce: "We should have a law enforcement agency" that enforces immigration laws "with heart." Not concerned that it is a losing position for Democrats, though depends on how issue is framed.

Um, how about maybe just, I don’t know, uh FIX ICE with better management and oversight as opposed to #AbolishICE which would do nothing but shift policy and operational burden to another agency which will just create more convoluted and obfuscated bureaucracy.

.@RepEspaillat says Democrats need strong commitment to comprehensive immigration reform.
