After months of negotiations and public posturing, the Senate’s proposed legislation that provides funding for Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel in exchange for a variety of changes to immigration law and border policy is out.
Some of the most significant changes include creating a “trigger” policy that would allow current and future administrations to resume expulsions at the border. The bill also creates a new, curtailed process for asylum seekers that has virtually no judicial oversight.
Additionally, the bill includes things like the long fought-for Afghan Adjustment Act, new pathways for faster work authorization, and more visas.
Join us on Tuesday, February 6 at 2 p.m. ET for a webinar breaking down this bill, which the Senate plans to put to a vote on Wednesday.
American Immigration Council experts will discuss the bill’s contents and answer questions like:
- What else is in the bill?
- What are the politics around it, and what’s the likelihood of it passing?
- How would it impact immigrant rights, including the right to seek asylum?
We hope to see you tomorrow, February 6.
Sincerely,
Rebekah Wolf
