When we talk about the future of DACA & protecting this essential program, we must also talk about Documented Dreamers. My bipartisan legislation, America's CHILDREN Act, would provide a path to citizenship to the 200,000 Documented Dreamers who have always called America home.
Americans are now more pro-immigrant than they were 20 years ago.
Our immigration system should reflect that. Retweet if you agree. #WeAreHome#WelcomeWithDignity
Stop horse-trading us @SenatorDurbin. Is it your goal to force Indian Immigrants on a lifelong subscription model for immigration? We want to trust you but your actions lie.
Include 60002/3/4 & submit to Senate Parliamentarian.

.@SenatorDurbin, stop hating us! It's time for you to think about fixing the broken immigration system, not VOTES. We want to trust you but your actions lie.
Are you sure you have sent provisions 60002/3/4 to the parliamentarian?
#DurbinIsRacist#DurbinHatesIndians@JudiciaryDems
Stop horse-trading us @SenatorDurbin. Where do you stand on employment backlogs? Make a public statement. No more games! We want to trust you but your actions lie.
Stop your rac!st attitude towards Indian immigrants.
#DurbinIsRacist#DurbinHatesIndians@JudiciaryDems
Stop horse-trading us @SenatorDurbin. Indian immigrants' lives in America is being devastated by your political games. STOP. NOW. We want to trust you but your actions lie.
Stop hating indian immigrants.
#DurbinIsRacist#DurbinHatesIndians@JudiciaryDems
This is not fair @SenatorDurbin. Stop the politics of horse-trading! Our families are not your pawns. Away from Parents. Aging out Kids. This is the life of an immigrant in the green card backlog.
Stop hating indian immigrants.

A community of Indian immigrants is living in something akin to immigration purgatory due to a visa backlog. This group of over a million is not undocumented, but were on visas that are family- or employment-based. (Analysis by @PabloReports)

The green card backlog is an incredibly important issue that affects so many, including many of our employees. We appreciate @margarethmcgill's look at what's at stake. https://t.co/HDynaYqxRF
"Many of their children come at young ages and really don't know any other place….The parents might even be able to stay with a [work] visa, but the child would have to leave. It's a heartbreaking situation." @RepDeborahRoss

@CongressmanRaja GC fees & applications r filed decades ago that created #GCBacklog community, I pray the new proposal once implemented must not create new 5KGCBackloggers 🙏🏻 Plz plan accordingly & guide congress for the text with due dates. WHEN is still a ? Thank you #SAVEUSAsLEGALimmigramtstoo
A new bill—introduced by @DeborahRossNC in the House, & @RandPaul & @AlexPadilla4CA in the Senate—would fix that.
"Come the legal way," many say. These families did, & they've been punished for it, rejected by the only home they've known. It must change.

The dilemma faced by "Documented Dreamers" epitomizes how nonsensical & inhumane our immigration system is.
They came here legally. And yet they can't get a work permit, often can't get a driver's license, & face expulsion as an adult. Make it make sense.

Pareen Mhatre legally arrived in the U.S. with her parents at 4 months old. She is now 21 & is racing against time before being sent back to India.
"I've lived in this country for the past 21 years," she says. "It's really the only country I know."

Padma Danturty arrived in the U.S. legally when she was 8 months old. She is now 18. She faces self-deportation to India in 3 years.
"I have no memory of it," she says. "I can barely speak my native language, so it would be really hard to communicate."
