[CHIRLA @CHIRLA]

We’re proud to join the #ValueOurFamilies campaign to fight for family immigration. We call on congress to fix the immigration backlog, ensure our promise to Diversity Visa winners, re-include a permanent pathway to citizenship, and take out any unnecessary fee hikes.

🚨🚨🚨>> "The framework includes a separate $100 billion investment in immigration reform that is consistent with the Senate’s reconciliation rules, as well as enhancements to reduce backlogs, expand legal representation"

Here's a look at the newest reconciliation framework from President Biden. Topline: 1.75 Trillion

Lots in there but the key missing items: Prescription drug reform and paid family leave.

[Ellen M. Gilmer @ellengilmer]

NEWS: Reconciliation framework retains $100B set-aside for immigration but stipulates it must be "consistent" w/ Senate rules, per senior admin official. Framework addresses "reform," reducing backlogs, expanding legal rep, improving asylum & border processing. Via @courtneyrozen

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

We cannot give up on a pathway to citizenship.

We led a letter w/ @RepLouCorrea, @RepChuyGarcia & @RepEspaillat & 40+ Members explaining why we should disregard the Parliamentarian's undemocratic hold on immigration reform.

It's been decades. We can't settle. #TheMomentIsNow

[Leigh Ann Caldwell @LACaldwellDC]

NEWS: The parliamentarian said that Democrats can NOT change the registry status to provide legal status for immigrants in reconciliation, two sources say.

They will try as third time. This time creating a new legal status.

[Dick Durbin @DickDurbin]

I will keep doing everything I can to secure protections for Dreamers and other immigrants.

BREAKING: The Senate Parliamentarian rejected Democrats' "Plan B" on immigration (updating the date in the INA registry), per a Democratic aide.

Dems plan to regroup to come up with a Plan C, but it's not clear what that is.

[Michelle Hackman @MHackman]

New w/@siobhanehughes: the senate parliamentarian has ruled against Democrats' idea of legalizing millions of immigrants through an update to a law known as the registry. Dems presented that option this morning. More proposals coming on immigration https://t.co/SIl2Y8uiAz

"When my family won the DV lottery, I was too young to fully understand the gravity of that moment. Still, I knew it was a big deal. Families like ours cannot immigrate using common channels... For us, the DV was the only pathway to immigrate"

Under Trump, diversity visa applicants faced various barriers including travel bans, disruptions due to the COVID & the temporary halt of the DV program. Under Biden, DV processing has been allowed to resume, but the process is slow & the timeline unclear.

[ACLU @ACLU]

Under Trump’s Muslim ban and other discriminatory travel bans, entry through the Diversity Visa program was blocked for thousands of people awarded a path to legal permanent residency.

Now, those barred from entry have to apply again to win US visas — but Biden can change that.

[ACLU @ACLU]

All forms of immigration are integral to the fabric of American life. The diversity visa program is a critical part of that. https://t.co/17vBFqVAxu

We applaud the House Judiciary Committee for passing immigration provisions in the FY22 Budget Reconciliation Package that included a pathway to citizenship for immigrants. #RacialJustice & #CivilRights provisions brings us closer to #Citizenship4All!

[Advancing Justice - AAJC @AAAJ_AAJC]

Asian Americans Advancing Justice celebrates the @HouseJudiciary passage last night of immigration legislation for the FY 22 Budget Reconciliation Package. The inclusion of key measures bring us a step closer to a pathway to citizenship & clearing the family immigration backlogs!

[Advancing Justice - AAJC @AAAJ_AAJC]

We thank the tireless advocacy from undocumented youth, organizers, and communities across the country that has led to the inclusion of these transformative key provisions.

The @HouseJudiciary should be applauded for advancing its must-pass reconciliation package that would be the biggest overhaul of America’s broken immigration system in years, a sorely needed step for the US to remain competitive & restore [its] image as a beacon to all immigrants

[NIAC @NIACouncil]

. @RepJerryNadler & @RepZoeLofgren deserve particular credit for including a provision that would rectify America’s failure to live up to its word to many Diversity Visa recipients in recent years

[NIAC @NIACouncil]

Today the @HouseJudiciary approved language for the reconciliation bill to help restore #DiversityVisas lost for Iranians barred under the Muslim Ban. This is a major step in undoing damage from that bigoted policy & restoring US credibility -@RyeCostello
