All year long, we’ve seen how immigrants across the country have stepped up as an essential part of our nation’s recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Looking ahead to 2021, we have the opportunity to transform our harmful immigration system and build a more prosperous future for everyone, starting with all 11 million undocumented immigrants in the United States. This holiday season, we’re asking our community to share in a comment on our Facebook post what you’re wishing will come to pass for immigrants across the country in the coming year.

I am an essential worker, a healthcare professional saving American lives during the COVID-19 global pandemic. My wish would be a pathway to citizenship. ”

Esmeralda T, Kansas

A pathway to citizenship is vital for the success of all American families so that everyone can fully contribute in this country we call home. What are you wishing for the immigrant community this year?

I think also recognizing that immigrants, and undocumented immigrants, aren’t just key right now to fighting COVID-19, but are also going to be essential in any recovery that this country has moving forward from this virus. ”

Maria P, Washington, DC

We know that the pathway back to recovery from this public health and economic crisis is being built by millions of essential workers, many of whom are trapped and stuck as undocumented by our failed immigration system. Comment on our post with your own holiday wish for immigrants now.

I hope that we can finally move beyond the notion that only certain undocumented people can be granted protection and a pathway to citizenship, and finally pass immigration policy that is inclusive of all undocumented people in this country. ”

Kenzi L, California

Happy holidays from our families to yours
