•  "This legislation, sent to Congress by President Joe Biden in 2021, restores humanity and American values to our immigration system. The legislation provides hardworking people who enrich our communities every day and who have lived here for years, in some cases for decades, an opportunity to earn citizenship. It modernizes our immigration system, and prioritizes keeping families together, grows our economy while ensuring every worker is protected, responsibly and effectively manages the border with smart and effective investments, addresses the root causes of migration from Central America, and ensures that the United States remains a refuge for those fleeing persecution. The bill provides a new vision for the border." Source: Rep. Linda Sanchez (Democrat, California, District 38)

•  "We do have a broken immigration system here in the United States of America, and it does require a thoughtful and comprehensive solution, an approach that is anchored in our values as a country based on two pillars. One, a nation anchored, of course, in the rule of law, but a nation of immigrants, people who come from all across the world to form the gorgeous mosaic that is America and the diversity in America that is and should continue to be the envy of the world. We have a thoughtful approach, the U.S. Citizenship Act." Source: Rep. Hakim Jeffries (Democrat, New York, District 8)

•  "House Democrats are ready – and have been ready – to invest in a secure border and deliver real immigration reform. What Republicans are bringing onto the floor this week is not substantive—it's extreme and recycles the same failed policies from the prior Administration that did nothing to help our situation at the southern border. That’s why we are so proud to join Congresswoman Sánchez in reintroducing the U.S. Citizenship Act to build off our investments in safety and personnel at the border, open more lawful pathways for citizenship and address the root causes of migration. Our legislation would strengthen our labor market and add stability to the economy. This is the best path forward to deliver true, comprehensive immigration reform." Source: Rep. Pete Aguilar (Democrat, California, District 33)
