O’Malley outlined the three core principles of his policy:
1) We are and have always been a nation of immigrants.
2) We are a compassionate and generous people.
3) It is in the best interest of every citizen of the the United States to reform the immigration system.

O'Malley recalls at length his outspokenness during Border Crisis last year. MD took in more children per capita than any other state.
"I spoke truthfully to the compassion and the generosity in the heart of our people, and our people rallied. We rallied faith leaders and accommodated through foster care more children per capita than any other state in the United States," O'Malley said in his remarks. "I knew this was the right thing to do."
