The hope is that President Biden will grant work permits for long-term undocumented immigrants.
This nationwide call to action would help give immigrants a chance at the life they came to the U.S. to build., and more. They said this would help give the immigrants a chance at the life they came to the United States seeking.“We have this tremendous, unique secret sauce that is built in large part due to our various like immigration patterns,” said Mike Ferrufino, president and CEO of the Colorado Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
That knock is something that’s been on Antonia Pena’s mind for the last 25 years she’s lived in Colorado, undocumented. “We left our country looking for better opportunities and the fear is something we live with day after day, hour after hour,” Pena said. “I’ve prepared myself by going to school without being documented and would like to have a professional job, no job is a bad job.”“Having DACA means I have a work authorization, so I have a work permit, social security number and also protection from deportation, and the Here To Work campaign works sort of similar,” Munoz Valenciano said.
The advocacy groups said President Biden granting temporary protected status for Venezuelans was a good step, and they said programs for migrants who are just arriving are important, also.“I think it’s fair to provide some protections for those individuals that have been contributing to the tapestry of the American dream in our country not just today or yesterday, the last 6 months, but sometimes for the last 30 years,” Ferrufino said.
The Colorado Hispanic advocacy groups will head to Washington, D.C. for the national Here To Work Day of Action on November 14th.
