NASW supports U.S. Citizenship Act of 2021

The Act, I passed, will provide a pathway to citizenship for an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the United States. The bill also includes provisions to "fast track" a path to citizenship for agricultural workers, those with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, people with temporary protected status (TPS), and others who are classified as deferred enforced departure (DED).

One of the fundamental aims of the legislation is to begin to find remedies to address the root causes of immigration - especially for asylum seekers from Central America and the Caribbean.

Black Lives Matter. Black Immigrants' Lives Matter. Black Asylum Seekers' Lives Matter.

Immigrants from predominately Black countries, such as African and Caribbean nations, face tougher treatment under the current immigration system. While just 7% of non-citizens in the U.S. are Black, they make up a full 20% of those facing deportation on criminal grounds. In ICE jails and private prisons, guards subject Black immigrants to solitary confinement at higher rates than non-Black immigrants. The longest incarcerations on record are for Black immigrants.
