Call on federal government to grant Parole in Place status and issue work permits to new migrants and long-term contributing immigrant workers

Auto-generated summary

Chicago City Council's resolution, backed by Congressman Garcia and the Hispanic Caucus, supports parole for 11 million undocumented workers, opposes the deportation of 2 million, and advocates for family reunification. It acknowledges Biden's immigration measures, including the admission of 300,000 Ukrainians, the plight of deported green card veterans, and the potential for a legalization process through parole in place. Mayor Johnson leads the council, noting the unrealistic expectation of bipartisan reform, with the resolution set for October 2023 approval.
