#WorkPermitsForAll
#PermisosParaTodos
Purpose/Call To Action:
On November 14, 2023, partner organizations and advocates will host thousands at the National Here to Work Day of Action in Washington, D.C. Immigrant leaders applaud the administration for granting work permits to half a million Venezuelan migrants this past September. This was an important first step for our economy and for our families. Now, hundreds of advocates, organizations, and political leaders from both sides of the aisle are calling on the President to take the next step and grant work permits for long-term immigrant workers and spouses of American citizens who have worked and paid taxes for decades.
We are demanding that the Administration extend work permits to ALL immigrants regardless of their status. Undocumented immigrants are exclaiming that they are HERE TO WORK! It is time! Include us!
Join the campaign! Here to Work — American Business Immigration Coalition Action (abicaction.org)
We are asking President Biden to:
Expand PAROLE for long-term immigrant contributors, including DREAMERS
without DACA, spouses of American citizens, and long-term workers.
Expand Temporary Protected Status (TPS) and Deferred Enforced Departure.
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT FOR “HERE TO WORK”
Since February 2023, the Here to Work Coalition has rallied more than 350 businesses, Republican and Democratic governors, and Members of Congress to urge the Biden Administration to expand work permits for long-term immigrant contributors already in the U.S. and new migrants arriving at the border – including through the use of parole under the significant public benefit provisions of current law, humanitarian parole, TPS redesignation, and Deferred Enforced Departure (DED). Taking bold, humane, common-sense action makes sense on its merits and is politically popular. As laid out in an upcoming memo by American Families United, Immigration Voters –
U.S. citizen adults living with undocumented immigrants – are a force in swing states. Common-sense, humane action on immigration is their top priority.
