As organizations and individuals who believe in the dignity of all people, the Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) welcomes the sea-change on immigration policy that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are ushering in.
Immigration policy priorities for the Biden-Harris Administration’s first 100 days and beyond, written by the Interfaith Immigration Coalition.
The Interfaith Immigration Coalition (IIC) released “The Interfaith Framework for Welcoming and Supporting Migrants, Immigrants, Asylum Seekers, and Refugees,” a set of recommendations on immigration-related policy for the Biden-Harris administration. Together, these changes remove the Trump administration’s anti-immigrant, anti-refugee, anti-Muslim, and racial bias from federal administration, and begin to restore fairness and welcome to immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and their loved ones.
The Interfaith Immigration Coalition offers these recommendations for initial steps for the Biden-Harris administration to take in reforming executive branch immigration policies; decolonizing the U.S. role abroad; and passing immigration laws in Congress.
