Gretel believes our immigration system should reflect fairness, dignity, and the values that define our nation. For too long, Congress has failed to act, leaving families in uncertainty and communities without the stability they deserve. Gretel knows that immigrants strengthen Texas. They build businesses, care for our families, serve in our communities, and contribute every day to our economy and our future.

Gretel supports creating a clear and achievable path to citizenship for long term residents who live, work, and raise families in the United States. She believes Dreamers deserve permanent protections and a pathway to citizenship that honors their contributions. She is committed to protecting and expanding DACA so young people can pursue education, careers, and stability without fear of being torn from the only home they have ever known.

​

Her priorities include modernizing the immigration system, reducing backlogs, strengthening legal pathways, improving border infrastructure in ways that prioritize safety and humanity, and ensuring families are not separated. Gretel believes immigration reform must be rooted in compassion, smart policy, and respect for human rights.

Gretel is committed to an immigration system that is fair, functional, and reflective of the values that make this country strong.
