Support comprehensive Immigration Reform


National Women's Law Center
It’s not what you look like or where you were born that makes you American. It’s how you live your life and what you do that makes you a part of this country.
That’s why all Americans deserve immigration reform that includes a pathway to citizenship.
Raise your voice for the millions of immigrant women and their families who make ours a stronger country. Tell your Senators to support a comprehensive immigration reform bill that meets the needs of women and families.
The next weeks will be critical in the immigration reform fight. Senators will consider hundreds of amendments that could affect the lives of immigrant women and their families for decades to come.
To meet the needs of women and their families, immigration reform must:

  • Help keep families together. Immigration reform should reunite families.
  • Ensure immigrant women have fair access to the path to citizenship and green cards. Women’s economic circumstances, the kinds of jobs they do, and their caregiving responsibilities should not prevent them from becoming citizens.
  • Protect against worker exploitation. Immigrant women workers who challenge workplace abuses like sexual harassment, discrimination, and wage theft must have meaningful protections and remedies available.
  • Make affordable health care available to lawfully present immigrants. Women on the path to citizenship should be able to get the same health coverage and services as other women across the country.
  • Preserve tax credits and Social Security benefits for lawful immigrants. Lawful, taxpaying immigrants must receive the full benefits they earned in Social Security and access to family tax credits.

We believe that families should be able to stick together and that we should help our neighbors. We all do our part to contribute, and we’re all the better for welcoming the immigrant women who play a key role in our nation and our economy as members of our communities.
Tell your Senators to support a comprehensive and strong immigration reform bill that meets the needs of women and their families.
Thank you for everything you do.
Sincerely,

Emily J. Martin Emily J. Martin Vice President and General Counsel National Women’s Law Center
