Residents of Georgia, including communities of faith, want Congress to pass a path to citizenship for the nearly 240,000 undocumented immigrant workers in the state, approximately 170,000 of whom are essential workers. Reverend Caroline McGee, Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta and Faith in Public Life Action in Atlanta, Georgia said, “As a pastor, I believe in the God-given dignity of people, including our immigrant neighbors. The pandemic has shown us that immigrants are essential to our communities and workplaces, but are too often exploited and neglected. Immigrant families have lost thousands of loved ones who had no choice but to keep working in deadly conditions. Congress has a moral responsibility to pass policy that provides a pathway to citizenship for all immigrants in the nation.”
