Durbin, Pritzker, Congressional Leaders, Immigration Coalition Urge President Biden To Expand Work Authorizations

Press Release

"I'm grateful to stand with felloww Members of Congress, business leaders, and immigrant community leaders to push for immigration reform today. Like Illinois, many states are facing the challenges presented by a labor shortage crisis. In fact, Republican and Democratic governors alike -- including Governor Pritzker -- are pushing for the Biden Administration to create a state-sponsored parole program. States should have a say in how immigration can make our economies stronger, not just bureaucrats in Washington. I'll keep doing my part and pressing forimmigration reform in Congress and the executive branch, and I won't stop until it gets done."
