John,
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an immigrant rights activist, has reminded us that “throughout the pandemic, undocumented essential workers have put food on America's table, putting their own lives at risk to feed us. It's time to thank them with a pathway to citizenship.”
Immigrant communities have lived in extreme fear in our country during the past four years, under an administration that did not hesitate to separate families, deport DREAMers and veterans who came to this country as children, and fan the flames of xenophobia.
When the pandemic hit, these same communities of undocumented immigrants immediately became frontline workers, putting food on our tables while struggling to feed their own families without federal relief.
France, who has long held tight immigration protocols, recently expedited hundreds of citizenship applications for immigrant frontline workers -- and we know the same is possible in a country moving toward healing. But Americans remain divided on the issue, especially after four years with a xenophobic administration in the White House. That's why today, we need to hear from you:
Do you support a path to citizenship for undocummented essential workers?
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us.
We greatly value your input.
