FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 20, 2021

STATEMENT ON A PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP AND BUILD BACK BETTER AGENDA FROM CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER MAYRA MACÍAS

“The statement from the parliamentarian is deeply disappointing, but we are clear-eyed and fully committed to continuing the fight to reform our broken immigration system that has left too many behind. As the Biden-Harris Administration and Majority Leader Schumer have made clear, there are alternative proposals that will be put forth to finally pass a pathway to citizenship for immigrant families who have contributed to our country in countless ways for decades.”

“Our country has been waiting for decades to fix our broken immigration system, and as the President has said, the time is now to finally pass a pathway to citizenship as part of the Build Back Better Agenda. The American people recognize the importance of these reforms, and that’s why a pathway to citizenship as well as the broader Build Back Better Agenda has such deep support with families across the country. The urgency around fighting for our country and millions of immigrant families remains, and we expect leaders in Congress to deliver on this priority and ensure we are building back better for all American families.”
