On May 22nd, Milwaukee City Council President José Pérez joined other local leaders in urging President Biden to grant legal work permits to long-term immigrants. The American Business Immigration Coalition (ABIC) hosted the press conference, emphasizing the urgent need for the Biden administration to expand legal work permits this year to undocumented spouses and immediate family of U.S. citizens, Dreamers ineligible for DACA, and long-term workers lacking a path to legal status. The Wall Street Journal has reported that President Biden is considering administrative action to broaden access to work permits for the undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens.
