John,

These days, there is a lot of uncertainty and a lot at stake.  

From conversations of pathways to citizenship for Dreamers,
farmworkers, and Temporary Protected Status holders; to tens of
thousands of Afghans fleeing repression; to influxes of Central
American, Haitian, and Cuban migrants - the immigration stories
and issues are overwhelming.  

Every piece is connected by one crucial thread: how will America react?
How will we show that we are a country of welcome and refuge? How can
we truly become a nation of laws and a nation of grace?  

Take action to urge Congress and the Biden administration to provide
assistance for our Afghan allies and a humane response to Haitians
seeking refuge.  

Over the past 11 months, more than 29,000 Haitians have arrived at the
U.S.-Mexico border - and that number doesn't include the tens of
thousands stranded in Tapachula, Mexico. Haitian migrants have
faced tense encounters
 with
Border Patrol agents as they hope to find safety in the U.S. For many,
the journey to the border has ended with a flight back to Haiti, a
country many left after the 2010 earthquake.  

The fact is that the government should have a process in place to
manage migration and treat people humanely. And those who failed their
mission in Del Rio should be held accountable.  

Take action to urge Congress and the Biden administration to provide
assistance for our Afghan allies and a humane response to Haitians
seeking refuge.  

Whether it is the crisis facing Afghan evacuees or the culmination
of over a decade of Haitian migration following natural disasters and
political upheaval, this is about people hoping to cross borders and
build better lives for themselves. Congress must move forward with
solutions to modernize our immigration system and extend a hand to
people seeking refuge, re-establishing the United States as a country
of welcome.  

The time is now to show that we are a country of welcome. Act now and
urge Congress and President Biden to provide assistance for our Afghan
allies and a humane response to Haitians seeking refuge.
 

Thanks for all you do for immigrants and refugees in your community,
