IMMIGRATION POLICY-REFORM
Summary
Calls upon the Biden Administration to take immediate steps, including executive orders, administrative policy changes, and regulatory changes, to undo the harmful immigration policies of the Trump Administration, including but not limited to halting and dismantling the immigration enforcement machinery that has harmed and separated thousands of Illinois families. Calls upon the Biden Administration, Senator Richard Durbin, Senator Tammy Duckworth, and the Illinois U.S. House Delegation to enact legislation to create a pathway to citizenship for all undocumented immigrants, fix other provisions of our immigrations laws that exclude and otherwise harm immigrants, address the root causes of international migration, and ground our immigration laws in justice and equity.
