B Stands for Breakthrough?
Good afternoon,  

As we approach the end of January, the future of Senate negotiations on
border and migration policy in exchange for foreign aid for Ukraine and
other allies is murky. 

Whether they proceed or not, there's something to celebrate here:
Democrats and Republicans have been sitting down together and having
difficult conversations about real challenges that we need to address.
 

Part of the challenge is that we don't know the final details, just
reports, some of which are conflicting. Some reports suggest the deal
would include concerning measures that actually could be contrary to
increasing order at the border. And we know that an agreement would
leave much of our broken immigration system unaddressed. 

That said, solutions-focused conversations at the federal level that
could lead to meaningful policy changes are highly encouraging.
Bipartisan solutions to immigration challenges can help build a system
that simultaneously works for native-born Americans and immigrants.
According to recent polling, Americans want solutions

that would create a more secure, efficient, and humane border process.

At the National Immigration Forum, we believe now is the time for a
divided and highly polarized government to come together not only for
order and security but also for the sake of our nation's longstanding
value of welcome. We hope you continue to join us in taking action
toward meaningful change.    

Stay hopeful and committed, 

Oula Alrifai
