SAN DIEGO Mayor Todd Glorias statement on the U.S. Citizenship Act:

In January, my administration sent a letter to the Biden administration and congressional leadership outlining our Citys priorities for a comprehensive immigration reform package.

I am extremely pleased to see the legislative package released today incorporates many of those key priorities specifically, providing a pathway to citizenship for our undocumented residents, keeping families together with a streamlined immigration system, and promoting immigrant and refugee integration.

As Americas largest border city, we are a shining example of how a binational region built on partnership, humanity, and a welcoming approach can thrive. I look forward to continue working directly with the Biden administration and our congressional delegation to help get this effort across the finish line to finally make immigration reform in America a reality.
