With a pandemic in its infancy and with the consequent economic crisis that has generated, an integral migration reform will not take precedence over a new governing body that will have to deal with more urgent needs.
Although groups of defenders of the rights of immigrants insist on having to insist on an integral reform, recognize that a priority priority is the possibility of a permanent status for dreamers, carriers of TPS and essential workers, which are interpreted by observers as a legislative solution in short order.
In fact, a group of more than 500 organizations will send one map to the democratic chambers of both chambers of the Congress for Pedirles that, in the debates on the economic recovery package for coronavirus, including migration reform, for “particularly to dreamers, holders of the Temporary Protection Status (TPS) and essential workers”.
In the motion, led by Representative Nancy Pelosi (Democrat from California) and Senator Charles Schumer (Democrat from New York), the group defends the statement of principles initiated by Joe Biden’s governing body last week, including a migration reform with a trucking drive for millions of documents, and signals that the media that adopts the legislation will establish a “fundamental herramienta” to guarantee that the recovery “sea tan audaz, dynamic, inclusive and equitable” and complete with the requisites and challenges that enforce peace in these moments.
Among the group of essential workers the group includes campers and employees working in the food industry, and those documented immigrants, some with deportation, working in the area of health in the first line of combat 19.
The reform of Biden
Poco antes of tomar position, Biden’s governor dio to concoct the lineamientos of his migration policy that includes a reform with a truck to the city for millions of undocumented that live in the country.
The plan favors undocumented waterways that will be located in the country by January 1, 2021, carrying out criminal offenses, paying taxes and paying a lot.
The document indicates that female caliphs are eligible for a provisional residence for five years at the end of the years following the Green Card (green card or permanent legal residence) and three years have been qualified to claim the citizenship.
In addition, dreamers, TPS holders and essential workers can immediately apply for the Green Card (green card) and submit the naturalization grant.

Aggregating that protection also extends to its families, as well as dreamers and TPS holders, “who contributed much time to this country and who appeared when the most needed”.
Jawetz added that “the Congress should use all its provisions at its disposal, including the precautionary conciliation process to provide the basics of a recovery that is resistant and just”.
In his vez, Felicia Wong, president and executive director of the Roosevelt Institute, said that “when the covid-19 more than 5 million of documented essential workers work our economy in great risk for them and their families. Suffice it to say. We will build an inclusive economy that works for all; we insure insurers that essential workers have protection wettig. No single solo correct; it’s the most intelligent thing you can do. It’s good for the economy ”.
“We can have economic recovery and health that we need for the nation and we do not include everything that comes from our country,” said Clarissa Martínez de Castro, Vice President of Politics and Defense of UnidosUS.
“We have the opportunity to do exactly that, and include both citizens and immigrants. The immigrant workers we have been defending and now is our moment of defense ”, indicated.
Dónde is the reform
Last week’s Senate Senator Bob Menéndez (Democrat for New Jersey), who will lead talks in Congress to boost Biden’s reform plan, said the project is being edited and is likely to be launched in the Chamber. Go to a “three weeks”.
Menéndez, without embarrassment, says that the future of the initiative is “difficult”, that now there is no Republican response and that it will probably be “negotiated” to adjust to the requirements and requirements of the opposition.
The New Jersey Senator mentions that within the negotiations that take place in the Senate, priority is given to the legalization of dreamers, TPS holders and essential workers. If so, do not have a ticket to the city for the majority of the 11 million undocumented.
Republican lawmakers who in 2013 joined Menendez are pushing for greater migration reform, Senators Lindsey Graham (Carolina del Sur) and Marco Rubio (Florida) said last week that they would not support the Biden plan.
A moderate source from the Republican Party told Univision Notices that it would not support an initiative for reform, but that they would be able to revise a plan by part, as for example the legalization of the dreamers.
The card companies include unions, religious groups, pro-bono advocates, universities, immigrant communities, churches and civic committees that work for the defense and respect of the rights of immigrants.
