This is a moral issue. It is not political. It is not partisan. Right now, without further delay, Congress should end the harm to millions of children and create a pathway to citizenship for their parents who are Dreamers, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) holders and undocumented immigrants including farmworkers and essential workers.
