We, the undersigned, encourage Congress to pass a fair and compassionate immigration reform bill that will not create economic barriers to a path to legalization for the lowest paid immigrants whose labor has contributed so much to our economy. We call on our elected officials to move quickly to pass immigration reform in 2013.
Why is this important?
We all know many immigrant workers who work on jobs where conditions are often harsh and wages are low. Their work is valuable to our economy. They deserve a chance to come out of the shadows. We need to make sure that we pass immigration reform that will give these hard working, law abiding workers and their families the chance to get on a path to citizenship.
