AAI Applauds Senate on Prioritizing Bipartisan Immigration Reform

CHICAGO, IL-Asian American Institute (AAI), a member of Asian American Center for Advancing Justice applauds the US Senate on prioritizing immigration reform in a bipartisan manner, and looks forward to learning more about the details as they unfold. Among the many tenets of the proposal, AAI is pleased to learn that a pathway to legal citizenship is being offered, especially to DREAMers, a group that has fought valiantly for citizenship for a long time.  AAI is especially pleased with the leadership of Illinois Senator and Majority Whip Richard Durbin, who has championed immigration reform throughout his tenure in the Senate. “Illinois has been at the forefront of the debate on immigration reform, both from an activist perspective as well as an institutional one. We are excited to see meaningful options laid out, and look forward to working with our local and national partners to address these proposals within our community,” said AAI executive director Tuyet Le.
