Sign and send the petition: We have waited too long for immigration reform

Friend, [sign and send the petition: Citizenship can't wait. We must include long-delayed immigration reform in the Build Back Better Act.]( [Sign and send the petition]( This week is crucial for the Build Back Better Act going through Congress, but few issues are more timely than the measure's immigration provisions. House and Senate Democrats will be under a lot of pressure to remove a "path to citizenship," which is why we must press harder. For decades, immigration reform has stalled in Washington as politicians bicker—but real people's lives [have been affected](. "As a DACA recipient," said José Alonso Muñoz of United We Dream, "it's exhausting to go headline to headline wondering if this will be the year that I won’t be able to renew my work permit, or lose my protections from deportation." A Texas judge has ruled the DACA program unlawful, while the [Biden Administration appeals]( to the ultra-conservative 5th Circuit Court. But Congress can end this nightmare for the millions of undocumented immigrants by finally passing a sensible path to citizenship. Right now, the Senate is [awaiting a ruling]( from the parliamentarian as to whether Build Back Better's immigration provisions are allowed under reconciliation rules. There is [precedent to say yes](, but even if the parliamentarian says "no" we must remind Senate Democrats that her opinion is merely advisory. At the end of the day, Senate Democrats work for us. [Sign and send the petition to your House and Senate Democrats: You work for us. We have an immigration crisis. Support a path to citizenship in the Build Back Better Act.]( [Sign and send the petition]( Keep fighting, Paul Hogarth, Daily Kos Daily Kos Relies on Readers Like You We don't have billionaire backers like some right-wing media outlets.
