Ruben has been on the forefront of sensible and humane immigration reform in Congress, backing several bills that passed in the House but were held up in the Senate due to the filibuster. Over the years, Ruben has consistently voted for funding to hire and deploy thousands more border patrol agents, secure the border and ports of entry—and successfully advocated for increased resources for our border communities. In addition, he has introduced the Higher Education Dream Act, co-sponsored the Veteran Service Recognition Act and spoken out against extremist right-wing policies that separated migrant children from their families.
