This is a time for family. 

Many of us are gathering with those we love this week for Easter, Passover, or Ramadan, coming together to share love and companionship. 

And we hold each other close, knowing that we are living in uncertain times. 

With the coming of spring, we’d hoped that COVID might finally be behind us. But case counts are rising again, and mask mandates are returning in some places. That’s one reason why a bipartisan coalition in both the Senate and House, including some of our closest allies, is urging President Biden to keep Title 42 in effect. 

That decades-old law makes it easier for the U.S. to remove those who have entered the country illegally. With border authorities warning of a possible migrant surge, and the future of the pandemic uncertain, legislators like Senator Joe Manchin, Senator Kyrsten Sinema, and Representative Jared Golden want to make sure a detailed plan is in place before Title 42 is lifted. 

It’s a true bipartisan effort, with six Republicans and five Democrats in the Senate introducing a bill calling on the White House to craft a plan. And this idea has broad public support. 

We hope you will sign on to show your support for this real two-party solution. 

This is just the latest example of our allies banding together, from both parties and both chambers of Congress, in order to push for commonsense policies that otherwise will not happen. 

I’m thankful for my family during this holiday season – and for our problem-solving allies on Capitol Hill as well. 

Wishing you a safe, secure, and wonderful holiday time with your family and friends.
