**Memo to Congress, Candidates: Americans Want Border and Immigration
Solutions, Not Division**

A week after the midterm election, the results make clear that on
balance, anti-immigrant rhetoric and fearmongering did not win.

"Americans want Republicans and Democrats to come together on border and
immigration solutions," said

**Jennie Murray, President and CEO of the National Immigration Forum**.
"Candidates and elected officials from both parties will serve
themselves well by focusing on creating better immigration and border
processes that will benefit all Americans moving forward.

"Republicans and Democrats in the current Congress should come together
right now to pass existing bills that would address border challenges
and help Dreamers, farmworkers and our Afghan allies - as well as
American employers."

This week nearly 200 people from more than 30 states are in Washington,
D.C.

conveying the urgency for action with their members of Congress. And
surveys throughout 2022 reflect the desire for reforms now.

In a Lifeway research

survey in September, 80% of American evangelicals said they would
support bipartisan immigration reform "that strengthens border security,
establishes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who
came to the U.S. as children, and provides a reliable number of
screened, legal farmworkers." Survey results from February
<[link removed]>
and August
<[link removed]>
indicated similar support among evangelicals and more broadly among
registered voters and all adults and clearly defined the support for
action this year.
