Senators Barack Obama and Joe Biden are committed to immigration reform to secure our borders and give priority to hard-working immigrant families instead of corporate interests. Their plan for immigration reform proposes practical and humanitarian solutions for real problems. The plan includes three main components:

Border Security

Obama and Biden want to preserve the integrity of our borders. They support additional personnel, infrastructure, and technology on the border and at our ports of entry.

Improve our Immigration System

Obama and Biden believe we must fix the dysfunctional immigration bureaucracy and increase the number of legal immigrants to keep families together and meet the demand for jobs that employers cannot fill.

Bring People out of the Shadows

Obama and Biden support a system that requires undocumented immigrants who are in good standing to pay a fine, learn English, and go to the back of the line for the opportunity to become citizens.

In this video, Senator Barack Obama talks about his comprehensive plan for immigration reform:
