**New Immigration Bill
Should **

**Resonate with Voters**

** **

**WASHINGTON, D.C.** - Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Florida) and
Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) have announced an immigration reform bill
that reportedly would boost border security, update asylum, create a way
forward for Dreamers immigrants who lack authorization, and update
employment-based immigration, among other provisions.

Additional co-sponsors include Reps. Jenniffer González-Colón
(R-Puerto Rico),  Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-California), Kathy Manning
(D-North Carolina) and Hillary Scholten (D-Michigan), according to
reports.

The announcement comes a day after the release of new polling

which 82% of registered voters, including 80% of Republicans, said they
agree that "[a]s the U.S. works to restore order at the border, it is
important that Republicans and Democrats work together to pass
immigration reforms that address labor shortages and inflation, and
protect people already here and contributing."

"It's encouraging to see Republicans and Democrats working together on
immigration reforms, especially given recent partisanship. Americans
across political lines want these kinds of solutions," said 

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"Congresswomen Salazar and Escobar are right to seek middle ground.

"This appears to be a worthy effort to address the border, workforce
issues, Dreamers, and undocumented immigrants. While some provisions may
have room for improvement, this is a very productive step."
