Learn more about this bipartisan bill.
John,
Last month, Reps. Maria Elvira Salazar (R-Florida) and Veronica Escobar (D-Texas) announced an immigration reform bill — the Dignity Act (H.R. 3599) — that would strengthen border security, reform our asylum system, offer solutions for Dreamers, create a path forward for immigrants who lack authorization
and update employment-based immigration, among other provisions.
It’s encouraging to see Republicans and Democrats working together on immigration reforms, especially given recent partisanship. That’s why today we’re urging our supporters to push Congress to support this bill.
Urge your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Dignity Act to update our immigration system.
This bipartisan effort resembles the kind of compromise to improve our immigration system that Americans want. In recent polling, more than 80% of Americans across the political spectrum agreed that "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."
Americans don’t need false narratives or fearmongering; they want permanent solutions – and this piece of legislation is one possible solution.
Ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor this bipartisan bill!
While there is room for improvement in the bill, we must seize on this rare bipartisan opportunity to advance permanent solutions that promote border management that is secure, orderly and humane, while ensuring our legal immigration system can meet our workforce needs.
The ever-growing challenges of global migration combined with outdated and ineffective border management policies have only exacerbated the difficulties in creating a more orderly and secure border. These challenges will not be fully addressed without significant legislative action that also updates other
aspects of our immigration system.
We need both security and compassion – and that isn’t something temporary fixes to border policy can provide. We need permanent solutions.
It's never been more urgent to update our immigration system. Act now and ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Dignity Act!
Thanks for your support,
Jennie Murray
