**Reminder: Americans Want Solutions, Not Divisiveness**

**WASHINGTON, D.C. -** As the 2024 presidential campaign heats up,
divisive and misleading rhetoric on immigration is spreading - in
contrast to the solutions Americans want.

In polling in May
,
81% of self-identified conservatives agreed 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."

And in a February poll
,
74% of Republicans said they'd support such work on "immigration
reforms that strengthen border security, allow immigrants brought to the
United States as children to earn citizenship, and ensure a legal,
reliable workforce for America's farmers and ranchers."

"Americans are rightly concerned about border and migration challenges.
We must recognize these challenges for what they are: a humanitarian
crisis we must meet with compassion and resources," said

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.

"Americans want solutions, and we want Republicans and Democrats to work
together - not to divide us. That means improving order and compassion
at the border, passing a solution for Dreamers that allows their
essential contributions to continue, and offering solutions to farmers
and farmworkers.

"Leadership focused on solutions is the leadership we need in this
moment."

Murray and other experts are available for interview.
