Congressman Darrell Issa represents the people of California's 50th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.
The 50th District encompasses the central and northeastern parts of San Diego County and a portion of Riverside County, including the communities of Fallbrook, San Marcos, Valley Center, Ramona, Escondido, Santee, Lakeside, El Cajon, Temecula, and the mountain and desert areas of the San Diego-Imperial County line.
There’s nothing more alluring than the promise of the American dream – the hope that in our country with a little hard work, everyone can have a fair shot to create a better life for themselves. It’s what’s attracted so many from all over the world to come and make America their home.
As such, Americans should embrace immigrants who come here legally. But our current immigration system is working for no one. We need to fix our broken immigration system with reforms that secure our borders, enforce the rule of law and encourages legal immigration.
Immigrants, from all walks of life, make significant contributions to our country but we have to have the right laws in place to ensure there’s a process that actually works and ensures that it happens through the appropriate legal channels.
