I'm a child of immigrants. That is the history of this country. Immigration is good and important for our country. Legal immigration needs to really be modernized.

My parents were immigrants.

I'm a big supporter of immigration.

My parents were immigrants and janitors.

I love the new legal immigrants; they want their kids to be safe just like I do.

I think my parents were immigrants, you know, so I guess I would be first generation. Growing up in California.

I'm first generation in the country - my family's Mexican.
