B’nai B’rith International has issued the following statement:
B’nai B’rith International is pleased to learn of the bipartisan effort being taken up by senators to overhaul the nation’s immigration laws. The proposed legislation would include creating a path to citizenship for millions of the country’s undocumented immigrants.
B’nai B’rith has been a staunch supporter of comprehensive immigration reform at the federal level, as the variation of such laws at the state level has proven ineffective.
B’nai B’rith will continue to advocate for a constructive outcome to the legislative process. We hope that both parties in Congress will work together with the administration to achieve this goal.
