Whatever holidays you’ll be celebrating this winter, I hope that as the temperatures dip and the days get shorter, you find ways to stay cozy and spend time with the people you hold dear. I also hope that you and your family keep our nation’s immigrant communities in your hearts and minds. All people, regardless of immigration status, deserve safety, stability, and family unity. But far too many families in this country still face deep uncertainty and live in fear of being separated from their loved ones this holiday season.

For far too long, Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status recipients, and many other immigrants have been living without the guarantee of the legal protections that they deserve. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress can pass bipartisan legislation to promote family unity and establish the security that immigrants in our communities need so that they can thrive.
