Immigrant advocates urge Senate Majority Leader Schumer to deliver a pathway to citizenship

On October 1, 2021, in front of Senator Schumer’s Manhattan office, immigrant advocates and community members urged the Majority Leader to ignore the faulty assessment offered by the parliamentarian and fulfill the promise that Democrats made to immigrant communities.

The group demanded that Majority Leader Schumer lead his caucus to follow through on the promise to create a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants, including DACA recipients, TPS holders, and immigrant essential workers, who have kept this country running throughout the pandemic.

The historic budget package would help create a pathway to citizenship to over 463,000 immigrant New Yorkers while boosting the U.S. economy.
