What The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 Will Accomplish

people in line to become U.S. citizens

“The U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021 establishes a new system to responsibly manage and secure our border, keep our families and communities safe, and better manage migration across the Hemisphere”

The U.S. Citizenship Act will accomplish 3 main concerns:

  1. PROVIDES A ROADMAP TO CITIZENSHIP & ENHANCES LABOR PROTECTIONS

  • Develop an earned roadmap to citizenship for undocumented individuals.

  • Families are kept together.

  • Diversity is embraced.

  • Promotes immigrant and refugee integration.

  • Stimulates our economy.

  • Improves the employment verification process and protects workers from exploitation.

 
  1. PRIORITIZES SMART BORDER CONTROLS

  • Further allocates border resources with technology and infrastructure.

  • Provides funding for training to promote higher protection to manage our border communities.

  • Enhances the “crack down” on criminal organizations.

 
  1. ADDRESSES FUNDAMENTAL CAUSES OF MIGRATION

  • Creates safe and legal channels for seeking protection while increasing assistance to El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras conditioned on their ability to reduce violence and corruption.

  • Improvements to immigration courts reducing backlog and protecting vulnerable individuals.

  • Offers further support to asylum seekers and other vulnerable people by eliminating the one year deadline for filing asylum claims and increasing protections for U visa, T visa and VAWA applicants.
