Nearly 20 senators came together to call on President Joe Biden to approve a streamlined path to citizenship for the millions of undocumented immigrants living in the United States.
The group said undocumented immigrants with no criminal history and “deep ties” to the United States should be able to obtain parole or a lawful immigration status in a new letter.
Democratic senators listed on the letter were: Michael Bennet of Colorado, Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler of California, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada, Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico, Bob Menendez and Cory Booker of New Jersey, Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen of Maryland, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Mazie Hirono of Hawaii, Ed Markey of Massachusetts, Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden of Oregon, Raphael Warnock of Georgia and independent Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
