This week, the Senate will vote on S.744, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. According to an alert released today by the Episcopal Public Policy Network: “Without these legislative changes our friends, family members and neighbors will continue to face separation from their families, unprecedented levels of detention and deportation, minimal due process protections or protections from unscrupulous employers, and they will be forced to remain in the shadows with no relief in sight.
Supporting this bill allows us to take a step forward in our march towards a just and compassionate immigration system- a step that allows millions of our immigrant brothers and sisters to emerge from the shadows and join us in this pursuit.”
