Rick Caruso supports citizenship for long-term undocumented people
@RickCarusoLA: Caruso supports citizenship pathway
Rick Caruso, a prominent developer and civic leader, has expressed support for creating a pathway to citizenship for undocumented individuals who have been residing in the United States for several years, contribute to the economy, and maintain a clean criminal record.
This stance comes at a time when President Joe Biden aligns with similar sentiments, highlighting the potential for bipartisan cooperation on this issue. Caruso's remarks, shared on social media earlier this week, emphasize the positive contributions undocumented individuals make to the economy and point to the feasibility of a legislative solution that acknowledges these contributions.
As political discourse continues to grapple with immigration reform, Caruso's public endorsement of this solution reflects a growing consensus among some politicians and business leaders on the need to address the status of long-term undocumented residents.

Caruso’s approach to immigration reform aligns with his broader views on public safety and economic opportunity, having previously argued that there is no need for National Guard deployment in Los Angeles due to the city’s relative stability. His position also builds on earlier critiques of California’s enforcement tactics, where he labeled the state’s raids on immigrant workers as both cruel and detrimental to the workforce.
