Reminder: undocumented immigrants contribute billions in taxes annually, supporting vital programs like Medicare and Social Security.

Despite their contributions, they are denied access to services they help fund.

We all must have access to the resources we need to thrive.

[Las Americas Immigrant Advocacy Center @LasAmericasIAC]

On this #TaxDay, let's debunk the false narratives and recognize the truth: immigrants are integral members of our society who deserve respect, not misinformation.

Now more than ever, it's crucial to provide a pathway to legal status for our newest immigrant neighbors so that they can continue pursuing their aspirations and contributing to the development of our country.

[New Jersey Policy Perspective @NJPolicy]

Anthony’s parents immigrated from Cuba to the US in the 70s, building roots in a city as culturally diverse as NYC.

There’re approx 17.6M US children who have at least one immigrant parent. Like Anthony, they’re embracing both their cultures to create their own. #ImmigrantsAreNY
