Texas Businesses and Faith Leaders, Immigration Advocates Urge Biden Administration and Lawmakers to Act on Immigration - Texan Business and faith leaders and immigration policy experts met recently in Dallas to urge lawmakers and the Biden administration to enact policy changes that would allow long-term undocumented immigrants in the U.S. to apply for work permits. Attendees of the event emphasized the need for bipartisan legislation from Congress to improve border security and provide currently non-existent methods for undocumented immigrants to obtain work permits amidst nationwide workforce shortages, while also calling on the Biden Administration to take immediate administrative actions to create a method for undocumented immigrant spouses of U.S. Citizens to obtain work authorizations.

Rep. Gonzales Advances Legislation to Improve Land Ports of Entry - Congressman Tony Gonzales (TX-23) advanced H.R. 8150, the Reducing Excessive Vetting Authorities to Maintain our Ports (REVAMP) Act, through the House Committee on Homeland Security. This bipartisan, bicameral legislation would streamline the process of conducting repairs and maintenance projects at land ports of entry (LPOEs) along our southern and northern border. Specifically, it provides Customs and Border Protection (CBP) with greater authority to directly conduct these improvements without the involvement of the General Services Administration (GSA). This legislation would help improve the physical condition and operation of our international bridges. It would also address the growing backlog of repairs needed at federal facilities while freeing up the GSA to focus its efforts on major projects.
