Action: Meaningful Immigration Reform

 

MEANINGFUL IMMIGRATION REFORM REQUIRES FLIPPING SENATE AND WINNING WHITE HOUSE

Background

For past 4 years, heartless Trump administration’s made mockery of Statue of Liberty. 

House Democrats have fought back, passing: 

  

  • American Dream and Promise Act: pathway to citizenship for DACA and protection of temporary protected status holders 

  • Heroes Act: extends immigrants’ work permits and protection from deportation, grants undocumented immigrant families stimulus checks and health care benefits 

  • No Ban Act: vacates existing travel bans, prevents future ones 

  • Access to Counsel Act: affirms right of detained immigrants to contact attorneys, limits detention length and requires least restrictive settings 

These, and overhaul of immigration system, is only possible if Dems gain control of the Senate and end the filibuster, and Biden wins the White House.  Biden’s agenda includes: 

 

  • Immediately certifying and creating pathway to citizenship for DACA and TPS holders 

  • Putting 100-day moratorium on deportations 

  • Within first 100 days proposing legislation with pathway to citizenship for 11 million undocumented immigrants 

  • Rescinding travel ban 

  • Reversing all Trump’s other immigration policies 

  • Raising refugee cap in 2021 to 125,000  

 To achieve a society that values immigrants, we have just four more days to GOTV to ensure Democrats are in control.
