Immigration reform in the eye of the American population

One of the pillars of President Joe Biden’s political identity is strongly related to the immigration sector. Since he launched his political campaign for the 2020 presidential election, the president-elect emphasized and stressed the need to introduce immigration reform in Congress to transform the federal government’s approach to immigration in general.

Therefore, since taking office in January 2021, President Biden and his team have tried to promote comprehensive immigration reform by every means possible, encountering countless challenges along the way such as the surge of illegal border crossings.

The Biden administration is aware that it will not get bipartisan support in Congress to reshape the immigration system at this time, and that is the reason why it decided to include an immigration section in the 2022 budget package, which is being introduced through the reconciliation process.

Broadly speaking, the reconciliation process allows Democratic leaders to pass the budget package with only 51 votes in the Senate, instead of 60. Recently, the US House of Representatives passed this budget bill and it is going through the final steps to become official.

Thus, Biden’s immigration reform, which includes a path to legalization for millions of undocumented immigrants, is undoubtedly calling the attention of the American population and sparking controversy among citizens.

Local officials call on Congress to pass immigration reform

Since immigration reform is in the eye of the storm, it has been the topic of conversation in the media and many experts have commented on the benefits that a path to legalization for undocumented immigrants could bring.

To give a specific example, a coalition of more than 700 officials from different states across the US wrote a letter on Wednesday, September 8, stating that including immigration legislation in the budget package is the best alternative to keep the economy afloat and strengthen local businesses.

The group of local officials is comprised of mayors, commissioners, legislators, council members, inter alia. They openly call on Democratic leaders to pass immigration reform to permanently protect young immigrants known as Dreamers, who came to the US as minors.

In fact, they state, “Providing a path to citizenship for these individuals and their families not only recognizes the sacrifices they have made for all Americans over the past year, but also the important role they continue to play in America’s economic recovery and long-term global competitiveness.”

Adding to that, local officials stress on the fact that approximately 5 million essential workers could have a path to legalization thanks to this immigration resolution, which would greatly benefit the nation’s financial stability.
