McCarthy stop playing politics with the lives of [their] families and take action to pass comprehensive immigration reform now. These women will ask him to sign the pledge in support of a path to citizenship and for him to move an immigration bill for a vote in the House.

These California lawmakers include Rep. Buck McKeon, Rep.Gary Miller, Rep. McCarthy, Rep. Darrell Issa, and Rep. Devin Nunez.
