3.8 Million Immigrant Workers Harmed – Unless We Act

For over a decade, the federal government automatically extended work permits for immigrants who had filed their renewal paperwork on time but were still waiting on government processing. It was a commonsense policy that protected workers from losing their jobs simply because of federal delays.

Last October, the Trump administration eliminated it entirely – stripping 3.8 million workers of that protection in service of an anti-immigration agenda. Workers who did everything right, who filed on time and followed every rule, can now be legally fired and deported simply because the government is slow.

Now, there's a bipartisan fix. S.J. Res. 99, led by Sen. Jacky Rosen, would overturn this rule. A vote is expected in the coming weeks.
