Last night, the Dream & Promise Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act were reintroduced to Congress. These bills would put millions on a pathway to citizenship and are an important step in the overall goal of obtaining status for the 11 million undocumented workers who have made the United States their home.
Many advocates and immigrants celebrated these landmark bills and expressed their understanding of the fight head. Here are some of our favorite reactions:
