House Democrats voted in November 2021 in support of millions of American families by passing the Build Back Better Act. The immigration relief included in this bill will ensure that millions of undocumented immigrants who have been in the U.S. for an average of 20 years will be able to access work permits and protection from deportation, keeping them safe and together with their loved ones and allowing them to continue to contribute to our country and our communities. Now, it is up to President Biden and Senate Democrats must ensure that immigration relief is in the final legislation.
For years Congress has failed to deliver the pathway to citizenship that we all know is desperately needed and millions and millions of people across America deserve so much better than this. Democrats have an obligation to take any and all steps necessary to ensure they do not allow this moment to be another failure. Now the Senate must finish the job. No more excuses.
In the meantime, call your member of Congress today and say thanks for the House passage of the Build Back Better bill.
