Opponents say

• "H.R. 6 would only exacerbate illegal immigration and the exploitation of our immigration laws by incentivizing more illegal behavior while doing nothing to address the problems at our southern border or broader immigration enforcement efforts. Rather than sending a signal that will invite more people to illegally enter our country, the Administration urges Congress to focus on real solutions to address the problems within our immigration system."

Proponents say

• "The American Dream and Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act both passed the House two years ago with strong bipartisan support. With DACA recipients and TPS holders still in jeopardy due to pending litigation and as farm workers continue to feed U.S. families one full year into a pandemic that has been particularly brutal to many working in the fields, we cannot wait any longer."
