Congress has a historic opportunity to deliver a clear pathway to citizenship for millions of working families, and we expect it to deliver.
Immigrants and refugees have always helped to build, serve and feed our nation, just as they did and continue to do throughout the pandemic. As we prepare for a major investment in infrastructure, we need the jobs created through that investment to be good union jobs and we need all workers to be able to access those jobs, rather than being misclassified and forced into the shadow economy.
It has been nearly 35 years since our last path to citizenship, and working families can’t wait any longer. The Senate has a historic opportunity to extend permanent rights and protections to millions of long-term members of our communities, our workforce and our unions.
Call now to tell your senators to deliver on citizenship.
In Solidarity,
Liz Shuler
President, AFL-CIO
