Colorado Politics DENVER (KDVR) — Lawmakers want the Biden administration to remember the immigrants they say fueled the nation’s workforce during the pandemic. Standing firm on their push to make sure immigrants are included in all economic recovery legislation, 700 elected leaders signed a letter addressed to the president, the vice president and congressional leaders. In Colorado, 36 lawmakers are asking the president to provide a way in the $3.5 trillion budget reconciliation bill for immigrant workers to become citizens. “If you have shown up and you did right by our country by providing essential work, we are going to treat you right by giving you that path to citizenship,” state Sen. Julie Gonzales, D-Denver, said on Thursday. “We are talking about nurses, teachers, farm workers — people who worked those frontlines to keep our nation going.” Biden mandate: Over one-third of Colorado’s workforce will have to get vaccines While the letter focuses on pathways to citizenship for immigrants that have lived in the U.S. for a while, the nation is gearing up to greet a new group of immigrants. Refugees from Afghanistan are making their way into the U.S., leading the administration to ask for $6.5 billion in federal aid. Immigration attorney Cash Fazal, who works with refugees, said she hopes the talks surrounding immigration will improve after seeing the positive response from the U.S. in its help for refugees. “When the refugees do arrive, they will be issued work permits and social security numbers, so they will be contributing to society and paying taxes on that,” Fazal said. “So they’re just like anyone else because they will be given that identification. Maybe not all, but most should if they qualify for the relief they applied for. So I’m hoping that they settle for areas that are welcoming and open to this new migration period.” The budget reconciliation measure is seeing opposition already. Some lawmakers say it costs too much money. Democrats are expected to try to garner enough votes for the bill before the end of next week.

Latino Rebels Congress Can Ignore Immigration Guidance From Senate Parliamentarian

Reuters At least 400,000 immigrants from six countries, including Haiti, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua, who have been allowed to temporarily live and work in the United States, are getting their Temporary Protected Status benefits automatically extended for 15 months by the Department of Homeland Security. The extension means that the TPS beneficiaries, who also include nationals of Sudan and Nepal, can continue to legally live and work in the United States and, for now, avoid being placed in deportation proceedings. The 15-month automatic extension decision was announced by DHS Thursday and will be filed in the Federal Register. The extension is part of DHS’ compliance with various orders issued by federal district courts in three separate federal lawsuits. The lawsuits were first filed under the Trump administration as it tried to end TPS designation for Haiti, Central American nations and others, and it has since been extended to the Biden administration. If current TPS holders continue to meet all the individual requirements for eligibility, the renewal will be automatic, free of charge and applicants will not need to file any applications to maintain their TPS. TPS-related documents will be automatically extended through Dec. 31, 2022. DHS, which recently issued a new designation of TPS for Haiti, said eligible individuals whose TPS under the Haiti designation is presently continued by court orders and the new Federal Register notice, are strongly encouraged to apply for Haiti TPS under the recently announced new designation. This will ensure their TPS will continue if the courts end their injunctions. In addition, eligible individuals who do not apply for the new Haiti TPS designation during the initial registration period may be prohibited from filing a late initial registration during any subsequent extension of the designation if they do not meet certain conditions. Steven Forester, a Miami-based advocate, said the announcement is good news because now, instead of a nine-month extension, TPS beneficiaries have more than a year. Still he said, there needs to be comprehensive immigration reform from Congress so that individuals enrolled in the program can be at ease over their employment status and concerns about deportation. Oscar Rodriguez, a TPS holder from New York and coordinator for New York City TPS Committee, said while the news is welcome he doesn’t consider it a victory. “We continue to wait for a full redesignation and expansion of the TPS program which would benefit millions of migrants and refugees,” he said. “We are also expecting that this will finally be the year where Congress delivers on long-awaited immigration reform.”
