A national effort is underway to support immigrant workers. Bipartisan proposals, such as the Dignity Act and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, are being considered. These proposals aim to address the status of long-term immigrant workers.
Some restaurants are part of this push, advocating for change. They point to various acts, including the Dream and Promise Act, as potential solutions. The goal is to create work permits for law-abiding immigrant workers who have been in the country for an extended period.
Further information on this initiative is available from the source, providing more details on the proposals and the efforts being made to support immigrant workers.
