Political figures and advocacy groups are urging President Biden to take decisive executive action on immigration. They emphasize the need to address various issues, including providing work permits for Dreamers and undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens. Additionally, there’s a call for increased resources for Border Patrol to ensure community safety. Some express frustration over the lack of pathways to legalization in recent executive actions, highlighting the plight of long-term undocumented immigrants and Dreamers.
These appeals come from a diverse array of voices, including Congressional representatives like Tom Suozzi, Steven Horsford, Delia Ramirez, and Veronica Escobar, along with senators such as Dick Durbin and Alex Padilla. State legislators like Fabian Doñate and Victoria Neave, as well as organizations like the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the National Hispanic Caucus of State Legislators, are also joining the chorus.
Furthermore, advocacy groups like American Families United, Culinary Union Local 226, and SEIU are actively pushing for executive action, underscoring the immediate needs of affected communities and the broader economic implications. Their collective message underscores the urgency for President Biden to utilize his executive authority to enact meaningful immigration reform and provide relief to those impacted.
